NOTICE. 

]HE  intelligent  and  diligent  book-buyer  will  need  but  little  incentive 
to  a  perusal  of  this  catalogue,  for  the  reputation  of  Mr.  William 
Menzies  as  a  collector,  who,  to  a  ripened  judgment  unites  a  fasti 
dious  taste,  is  so  extensive,  that  it  is  almost  superfluous  to  attempt 
a  description  of  his  grand  and  probably  unrivalled  collection  of  books.  It 
is  much  more  than  a  collection,  it  is  a  library  in  every  sense  of  the  term  ; 
for  in  the  departments  to  which  it  is  devoted  it  is  replete  with  the  best  edi 
tions  of  the  best  authors,  in  the  very  best  condition,  selected  and  purchased 
from  time  to  time,  without  regard  to  cost,  during  a  period  of  nearly  forty 
years. 

It  has  been  at  once  our  occupation  and  privilege,  during  the  last  five  and 
twenty  years,  to  compile  many  catalogues,  some  of  which,  from  the  nature 
and  extent  of  the  libraries  catalogued,  possess  considerable  bibliographical 
interest,  but  we  have  never,  until  now,  had  the  pleasure  of  preparing  a  cata 
logue  in  which  almost  every  book  possesses  special  importance,  and  we  might 
with  propriety  terminate  this  notice  by  remarking,  that  where  all  the  books 
are  good,  it  seems  invidious  to  make  a  selection,  but,  as  this  catalogue  will 
circulate  among  many  buyers  whose  engagements  are  numerous,  and  whose 
time  is  limited,  we  have  thought  it  worth  while  to  group  in  a  succinct  pre 
liminary  notice  some  of  the  leading  specialities.  * 

The  department  of  Early  Printed  Books  merits  attention  as  containing 
some  fine  specimens  by  the  inventors  of  Printing.  Lots  74  and  167  being 
respectively  the  work  of  John  Gutenberg,  and  Fust  &  Schoiffer  ;  lot  75 
is  from  the  press  of  Peter  Schoiffer  ;  and  there  are  several  other  examples, 
dated  and  undated,  printed  by  the  fathers  of  the  art  between  the  years  1460 
and  1472  ;  while  English  Printing  is  illustrated  by  a  beautiful  specimen  of 
William  Caxton's  work,  viz.,  lot  926  Higden's  Polycronycon  ;  and  three  ex 
amples  of  Wynkyn  de  Worde,  one  of  which,  lot  2132,  is  the  earliest 
example  of  the  use  of  Italian  type  in  England. 

The  specimens  of  American  Typography  include  some  of  the  rarest  of 
the  books  in  this  catalogue.  Among  them  lot  665  Eliot's  Bible,  which, 
in  addition  to  its  claim  as  the  first  Bible  printed  in  America,  is  worthy  of  dis 
tinction  as  being  one  of  the  finest  copies  in  existence.  .Lot  514  besides 

1  The  alphabetical  list  of  the  rare  books  which  follows  this  notice  was  prepared  for  another  purpose, 
but  is  reprinted  for  its  convenience  as  to  their  order  in  the  catalogue. 


iv  NOTICE. 

being  an  early  specimen  of  printing  in  Massachusetts,  1663,  is  remarkable 
as  the  only  known  copy  which  has  occurred  for  sale  in  40  years.  Lot  1511, 
by  John  Norton,  1664,  is  almost  equally  rare  and  interesting.  Lot  1219 
is  conspicuous  as  the  first  book  printed  in  Pennsylvania  and  is  believed  to  be 
unique.  Lot  1250  is  the  first  book  printed  in  New  York,  and  the  only 
known  copy.  Lot  990  is  the  first  book  printed  in  Boston.  Lot  452  is  the 
first  book  printed  in  Connecticut. 

Of  books  printed  by  William  Bradford,  the  first  printer  in  the  middle 
colonies,  there  are  nearly  50  titles,  many  of  which  are  properly  included 
in  the  following  list  of  rare  books.  Benjamin  Franklin,  the  printer^  is  re 
presented  by  upward  of  2O  titles,  including  an  uncut  copy  of  his  ckefd'ceuvre, 
Cicero's  Cato  Major,  and  others  equally  rare.  Chris.  Sower,  of  German- 
town  battle-ground  renown,  is  represented  by  several  titles,  so  also  is  John 
P.  Zenger,  the  successor  to  William  Bradford. 

Of  Printing  on  Vellum,  we  have  specimens  of  two  of  the  only  three 
works  known  to  have  been  so  printed  in  the  United  States ;  several  Heures 
on  vellum,  printed  in  Paris,  are  here  worthy  of  mention,  as  also  is  lot  2002 
Turnbull's  Birds  of  Pennsylvania,  which  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  spe 
cimens  of  modern  printing  on  vellum  that  we  have  ever  seen. 

It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  remark  that  the  zealous  collector  is  always 
desirous  of  obtaining  uncut  copies  of  his  favorite  works,  particularly  of  such 
as  have  generally  fallen  victims  to  the  bookbinder's  plough,  in  this  special 
field  Mr.  Menzies  has  been  more  than  ordinarily  successful,  for  the  library 
abounds  in  uncut  copies  many  of  which  may  be  regarded  as  almost  unique^ 
and  none  of  them  as  common.  We  content  ourselves  with  a  brief  enu 
meration  of  some  of  their  titles,  viz.,  Smith's  New  Jersey,  Heath's  Memoirs, 
Peters'  Connecticut,  Franklin's  Cato  Major,  Hutchinson's  Massachusetts 
Bay  and  Papers,  Backus'  Church  History,  Burk's  Virginia,  Sanderson's 
Signers  on  large  paper,  Calefs  More  Wonders,  Mather's  Invisible  World, 
Mather's  Further  Trials,  Mante's  American  War,  Bullock's  Virginia, 
M'Call's  Georgia,  Thomas'  History  of  Printing,  Proud's  Pennsylvania, 
Smith's  Canada,  and  Donck's  New  Netherland. 

Of  books  which  relate  to  America,  and  possess  the  attraction  of  much 
rarity,  the  alphabetical  list  appended  to  this  notice  contains  short  titles  of 
the  principal  portion,  but  we  call  special  attention  to  a  remarkably  fine 
series  of  De  Bry's,  and  of  Hakluyt's  Voyages,  Purchas'  Pilgrimes,  Smith's 
Virginia,  True  Travels,  and  New-England,  Mourt's  Relation,  Symmes* 
Piggwacket  Fight,  Demon's,  Wolley's,  and  Smith's  New  York,  the  last 
on  large  paper  and  the  only  known  copy,  Hamor's,  Bullock's  and  Jones' 
Virginia,  Thomas'  and  Budd's  Pennsylvania,  Colden's  Indian  Nations, 
first  edition,  Cook's  Sot-Weed  Factor,  Gorges'  America  Painted  to  the  Life, 
Foxe's  North  West  Fox,  Mather's  Magnalia  on  large  paper,  and  many  other 
works  by  the  Mathers,  Romans'  Florida,  Anne  Bradstreet's  Poems,  Colden's 


NOTICE.  v 

Action  in  Matter,  Hale  on  Witchcraft,  Jefferson's  Notes  on  Virginia, 
first  edition,  Trials  of  Gens.  St.  Clair  and  Lee,  Linschoten's  Voyages, 
Haywood's  Tennessee,  Andre's  Cow  Chace,  Horsmanden's  Negro  Plot, 
three  editions,  and  Campanius'  New  Sweden. 

Among  the  more  modern,  but  almost  equally  rare  works,  is  a  series  of 
the  books  printed  by  Mr.  George  Wymberley-Jones,  at  Wormsloe.  A 
set  of  Munsell's  Historical  Series  on  large  paper,  the  only  one  ever  offered 
for  sale.  The  collections  relative  to  Burke,  Burr,  Cobbett,  Howe,  Bur- 
goyne,  Wesley,  Whitefield,  Dr.  Johnson,  Paine,  Wilkinson,  Bancroft, 
&c.,  are  unusually  complete,  and  of  much  interest. 

Mr.  Menzies'  predilection  for  the  literature  of  Scotland  will  be  conspic 
uously  apparent  in  the  editions  of  Burns.  We  are  acquainted  with  no  other 
catalogue  in  which  may  be  found  the  Kilmarnock,  the  first  Edinburgh,  the 
first  London,  and  the  first  two  American  editions  ;  while  the  set  of  Scott's 
Novels  is  exceptionally  fine,  and  unique. 

The  department  of  Bibliography,  though  not  extensive,  is  nevertheless 
replete  with  the  best  English,  French  and  American  authors.  The  series 
of  works  by  Thomas  Frognal  Dibdin  is  simply  magnificent ;  in  order  to 
make  it  so,  in  some  instances,  not  less  than  three  copies  of  a  work  have 
been  used  in  order  to  complete  one  without  spot  or  blemish.  Fine  sets  of 
Watt,  Brydges,  Beloe,  Clarke,  Home,  Lowndes,  and  Brunet,  the  last  three 
on  large  paper,  and  the  Bibliotheca  Grenvilliana,  also  on  large  paper,  are  em 
braced  in  the  series  of  English  and  French  Bibliography.  American 
Bibliography  includes,  among  others,  the  works  of  Rich,  Stevens,  Asher, 
Ludewig,  Faribault,  Kennett,  Ternaux,  Harrisse,  and  Sabin,  the  last  four 
of  which  are  on  large  paper. 

The  collection  of  Illustrated  Books  includes  so  much  that  is  excellent, 
that  we  should  exhaust  our  list  of  adjectives  in  any  attempt  to  do  it  justice. 
Preeminent  and  unapproachable,  both  as  to  extent  and  character,  is  the 
piece  de  resistance  of  the  sale — Irving's  Life  of  Washington  extended  to  10 
vols.,  410.  It  is  a  set  of  books  worthy  of  a  much  more  expanded  de 
scription  than  it  has  received  in  the  catalogue,  and,  like  many  other  works  in 
this  library,  it  must  be  seen  and  examined  to  be  appreciated.  It  is  the 
noblest  tribute  to  the  memory  of  the  "  father  of  his  country  "  that  Biblio 
mania  has  ever  offered,  and  no  amount  of  money  could  now  produce  its 
like.  In  regard  to  the  illustrated  books  in  general,  we  would  call  atten 
tion  to  the  statement  that  they  contain  upward  of  Ten  Thousand  Choice 
Engravings,  all,  with  scarce  an  exception,  fine,  strong,  and  choice  impres 
sions,  a  very  large  proportion  of  which  are  proofs,  India  proofs,  etc.,  of 
the  finest  character,  and  highest  class.  The  necessary  inlaying  has  been 
done  in  the  best  manner,  by  Mr.  Geo.  Trent.  In  addition  to  the  plates, 
nearly  Three  Hundred  Autograph  Letters  are  inserted,  many  of  which  strictly 
pertain  to  the  works  in  which  they  are  inserted,  while  all  of  them  will  be 


vi  NOTICE. 

found  to  be  in  the  most  satisfactory  condition.  The  reader  is  referred  to 
the  following  lots  viz.  :  14  Adams'  Works.  104  Bailey's  Records  of 
Patriotism.  150  Beloe's  Sexagenarian.  190  Boaden's  Shakespeare  Port 
raits.  432  Colden's  Life  of  Fulton.  504  Custis'  Recollections  of  Wash 
ington.  579,  580,  587,  591,  592  and  593  Dibdin's  Works.  623  Drake's 
History  of  Boston.  643  and  644  Dunlap's  Works.  739  Francis'  Old 
New  York.  749  and  750  Franklin's  Works.  767  Froissart's  Chronicles. 
794  Garden's  American  Anecdotes.  974  Hosack's  Life  of  Clinton.  1042 
and  1043  Irving's  Works  and  Life.  1562  Parton's  Life  of  Jackson.  1670 
Randall's  Life  of  Jefferson.  1693  Riedesel's  Memoirs.  1752  Sanderson's 
Lives  of  the  Signers.  1759  Sargent's  Life  of  Andre.  1740  Blennerhassett 
Papers.  1767  Schroeder's  Life  of  Washington.  1776  Scott's  Novels. 
1802  Knight's  Shakspere.  2030  Walpole's  Painters.  2048  Warren's 
American  Revolution. 

Of  Manuscripts  the  number  is  not  large,  but  the  importance  of  lot  2051 
can  scarcely  be  over-estimated  ;  it  is  Washington's  Correspondence  with 
General  Reed  during  the  American  Revolution ;  and  includes  Fifty-four 
original  Autograph  Letters  of  Washington,  which  form  the  subject  of  an 
extended  notice  in  the  catalogue  to  which  the  reader  is  referred.  We  take 
occasion  to  remark  that  the  library  is  unusually  rich  in  works  pertaining  to 
General  Washington,  there  being  nearly  two  hundred  Eulogies  and  Ora 
tions  relative  to  his  memory,  all  in  the  finest  condition  and  mostly  uncut, 
all  the  editions  of  the  Washingtoniana,  &c.,  and  a  few  books  from  his  library. 
Second  only  in  interest  to  lot  2051,  is  lot  2095  General  Wayne's  MS. 
Orderly  Book.  Lot  95  is  a  Collection  of  Autograph  Letters  of  the  Presi 
dents  of  the  United  States.  Lot  1573  ls  Original  Autograph  Letters 
written  by  the  Friends  and  Relatives  of  Washington,  on  the  Portrait 
painted  by  Rembrandt  Peale.  Lot  1824  is  a  remarkably  fine  series  of 
Autograph  Letters  of  the  Signers  to  the  Constitution  of  the  U.  S.  Lot 
96  is  a  series  of  Autographs  of  Distinguished  Americans.  There  are  also 
Autograph  Chapters  from  Irving's  Washington,  Bancroft's  History,  and 
Dawson's  Battles  of  the  U.  S.,  Major  Rogers'  Original  MS.  Diary  of  the 
Siege  of  Detroit,  Dr.  Franklin's  own  annotated  copy  of  the  Second  Pro 
test,  Autographs  for  Freedom,  and,  though  last  not  least,  A  Poem  by 
Robert  Burns  in  his  own  hand-writing.  In  addition  to  these,  some  of  the 
volumes  are  enriched  by  inserted  autograph  letters  and  signatures  ;  Proud's 
Pennsylvania,  Smith's  New  Jersey,  and  Greene's  Life  of  Genl.  Greene, 
are  examples.  There  are  also  two  fine  and  richly  illuminated  MSS.  written 
on  vellum  during  the  fourteenth  and  fifteenth  centuries  respectively. 

There  are  three  books  enumerated  in  the  catalogue,  of  which  one  copy 
only  has  been  printed  in  the  style  described,  viz.,  Laurens'  Letters,  Pou- 
chot's  Memoir,  and  the  Poetry  of  New  Netherland. 

The  attention  of  the  American  collector  may  perhaps  be  arrested  by  the 


NOTICE.  vii 

fact,  that  the  most  extensive,  as  well  as  the  most  important  of  the  specialities 
which  distinguish  this  remarkable  collection,  will  be  found  in  the  assemblage 
of  the  books  which  relate  to  America  —  particularly  to  the  British  North 
American  Colonies.  We  have  elsewhere  referred  to  some  of  the  rarer  and 
more  curious  works  in  which  that  department  abounds,  and  would  now 
remark,  that  there  is  scarcely  an  important  work  in  English,  claiming  a 
place  among  the  rare  Americana,  which  may  not  be  found  in  this  fine 
library.  Briefly,  the  collection  of  Americana  has  not  been  excelled  in 
attractiveness  or  importance,  by  that  of  any  other  collection  ever  sold. 

The  condition  of  the  books  throughout,  is  all  that  the  most  exacting  and 
tasteful  collector  can  desire  ;  the  slightest  blemish  was  always  a  cause  for 
rejection  j  and  as  very  nearly  all  of  them  are  bound  by  the  best  English, 
French  and  American  binders,  including  the  names  of  Roger  Payne,  Bed 
ford,  Mackenzie,  Hayday,  Pratt,  Lortic,  Henderson  &  Bissett,  David, 
Matthews,  Bradstreet,  and  Smith,  their  state,  internal  and  external,  is 
unsurpassed  by  that  of  any  other  similar  collection  which  has  ever  passed 
under  our  notice,  or,  of  which  we  have  any  knowledge.  This  is  high 
praise,  but  we  know  whereof  we  speak,  and  desire  to  create  no  impression 
concerning  the  books  which  will  not  be  most  amply  borne  out  by  the  books 
themselves.  The  reader  need  be  under  no  apprehension  as  to  a  too  fre 
quent  use  of  the  words  scarce,  rare,  and  most  rare,  &c.,  they  have  not  been 
lightly  considered,  but  express,  according  to  the  best  of  our  knowledge  and 
belief,  the  exact  bibliographical  status  of  the  various  works  which  are  so 
described. 

We  cannot  terminate  this  notice  without  expressing  our  acknowledg-, 
ments  to  Mr.  Menzies  for  his  valuable  assistance  without  which  the  cata 
logue  would  have  fallen  far  short  of  its  present  completeness  ;  neither  can 
we  forbear  to  direct  attention  to  its  typographical  beauty.  Mr.  Munsell 
has  printed  it  from  entirely  new  type,  and  the  result,  typographically  speak 
ing,  is  a  catalogue  which  in  point  of  taste  as  to  style,  and  accuracy  as  to  com 
position,  has  rarely  been  excelled  by  any  production  of  a  similar  character. 
As  to  the  other  characteristics  of  the  catalogue  they  must  speak  for  them 
selves.  For  reasons  which  do  not  concern  the  public,  Mr.  Menzies  has 
directed  the  collection  to  be  sold  at  auction,  at  a  time  and  place  to  be  here 
after  announced.  As  nothing  short  of  an  actual  inspection  can  convey 
an  adequate  idea  of  its  beauty  of  condition,  and  general  desirability,  it  will 
be  on  view  (by  cards  only),  one  week  previous  to  the  sale.

Life  of  Napoleon,  for  though  the  facts  are  distorted  the  style  is  attractive.

RARE. 

The  best  evidence  of  the  merits  of  this  work  is,  that  it  has  been  translated  into  almost  j 
every  language  in  Europe.  Sabin's  Dictionary  enumerates  22  editions. 

Acosta  composed  part  of  his  work  in  Peru,  and  the  remainder  on  his  return  to  Europe.  j 
The  translator  was  Edward  Grimstone. 

"  Replete  with  details  of  the  Aborigines,  before  their  peculiar  customs  had  become 
modified  by  contact  with  the  whites.  Although  he  was  one  of  the  earliest,  yet  he  was  one  of 
the  most  curious  and  accurate  observers  of  the  customs  and  peculiarities  of  the  Aborigines 
who  have  attempted  to  describe  them." —  Field.

Aitken  was  a  native  of  Scotland.  He  was  condemned,  executed,  and  hung  in  chains,  for 
setting  fire  to  the  Royal  Dock-yard  and  shipping  at  Portsmouth,  in  December,  1776.  With 
the  privity  of  Silas  Deane,  whom  he  met  and  conferred  with  at  Paris,  the  attempt  to  destroy 
the  government  property,  stores,  and  shipping  at  Portsmouth,  was  determined  on,  which, 
notwithstanding  its  apparently  desperate  and  impracticable  character,  partially  succeeded. 
From  Deane,  who  supplied  him  with  a  royal  passport,  and  a  sum  of  money  in  advance,  he 
had  assurances  of  a  reward  proportioned  to  the  services  he  should  render  to  the  American 
cause.  The  Counsel  for  the  crown  on  the  trial,  publicly  accused  Benjamin  Franklin  and 
Silas  Deane  of  complicity  in  the  enterprise,  and  expressed  a  hope  that  they  might  be  called 
to  account  for  it.  The  affair,  says  Gordon,  created  much  confusion,  apprehension,  and  sus 
picion  throughout  England  at  the  time  of  its  occurrence.

a  request  to  publish  it  after  his  Execution.  London:   1777.

"  The  writer  of  this  pamphlet  is  of  opinion  that  M.  St.  John's  design  in  publishing  his 
letters,  was  to  diffuse  a  spirit  of  migrating  to  America.  He  accuses  him  also  of  a  palpable 
falsehood,  in  describing  himself  as  a  native  American,  descended  from  Scotch  parents,  it 
being  a  fact,  according  to  this  writer,  well  known,  that  he  is  a  native  of  Normandy,  and  that

four  hundred  of  their  countrymen  at  Pavonia,  by  that  sanguinary  coward,  Governor  Kieft. 
The  petition  shows  that  three  hundred  of  the  Dutch  colony  had  been  slain,  and  one  hund 
red  carried  away  captives.     So  audacious  had  the  fierce  Indians  become,  that  several  of  the 
Dutch  had  been  killed  on  the  island  of  Manhattan ;  and  on  one  occasion  sixty-four  canoes 
loaded  with  the  savages  had  landed  on  the  shore  of  the  North  River,  and  before  daylight, 
had  filled  the  streets  of  New  Amsterdam.     The  first  objects  upon  which  the  eyes  of  the 
astonished  Dutchmen  rested  in  the  morning,  were  the  crowds  of  savages  to  whose  forbear 
ance  alone  they  owed  their  lives.  "  —  Field.

version  which  was  published  during  the  life  time  of  the  elder  De  Bry,  and  as  the  title  of  Part

On  the  verso  of  the  last  leaf  of  this  VERY  RARE  and  curious  book  is  a  list  of  the  "  Books  to 
be  sold  by  William  Bradford,  in  Philadelphia,  1692,"  with  the  prices  ;  and  at  the  bottom 
of  the  page  is  the  following  note  :  "  And  whereas  it  is  reported  that  the  printer  being  a 
favorer  of  G.  K.,  he  will  not  print  for  any  other,  which  is  the  reason  that  the  other  party 
appear  not  in  print  as  well  as  G.  K.  These  are  to  signifie  that  the  printer  hath  not  yet  re 
fused  to  print  anything  for  either  party  ;  and  also  signifies  that  he  doth  not  refuse,  but  is 
willing  and  ready  to  print  anything  for  the  future  that  G.  K.'s  opposers  shall  bring  to  him." 

The  following  notice  of  WILLIAM  BRADFORD  is  from  Joseph  Smith's  Catalogue  of  "  Friends' 
Books,  "  and  is  here  introduced  on  account  of  the  interest  which  attaches  to  his  name,  as 
well  as  on  account  of  the  numerous  books,  contained  in  this  library,  which  were  printed  by 
him.  "William  Bradford  was  born  in  Leicester,  about  the  year  1659.  He  was  placed  as 
an  apprentice  to  learn  the  printing  business  with  Andrew  Sowle  in  London.  Whilst  in  this 
situation,  he  appears  to  have  been  convinced  of  Friends'  principles,  and  was  admitted  into 
membership  among  them.  Shortly  after  he  was  of  age  he  married  Elizabeth  Sowle,  a 


BULWER.  49 

daughter  of  his  late  master,  and  then  went  over  to  America.  This  was  in  1682  or  1683. 
A  Certificate  of  Devonshire  House  Monthly  Meeting,  recommending  William  Bradford  and 
Elizabeth  his  wife,  as  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  was  read  in  Philadelphia  Monthly 
Meeting,  held  the  4th  of  the  nth  month,  1685,  and  accepted.  They  were  not,  however, 
settled  in  Philadelphia,  but  in  Oxford  township  ;  and  belonged  to  Oxford  Monthly  Meeting. 
His  press  was  probably  at  Burlington,  or  at  Chester,  or  at  Kensington.  Having  received  his 
printing  materials  from  England,  William  Bradford  was  now  ready  to  carry  on  business.  The 
first  work  that  he  printed  appears  to  have  been  '  An  Epistle  of  John  Burnyeat's,  in  1686. ' 
In  the  year  1687,  he  issued  a  prospectus  for  publishing  by  subscription  a  folio  Bible  with 
notes,  but  not  receiving  sufficient  encouragement,  the  work  was  relinquished.  In  the  year 
1691,  he  joined  with  George  Keith  in  his  controversy  with  the  Society,  and  in  1692  wished 
to  be  discharged  from  the  engagement  as  Friends'  printer.  He  removed  to  New  York  with 
his  press  in  1693,  and  was  appointed  printer  to  the  government.  There  he  continued  to 
reside  until  5th  month  23rd,  1752,  when  he  suddenly  deceased,  aged  94  years.  He  signed 
many  books  and  papers  during  the  Keithian  controversy.  It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  add, 
that  Bradford  being  the  first  printer  in  the  Middle  Colonies,  books  printed  by  him  are  eagerly 
sought  for  by  the  American  collector  ;  many  of  them  are  printed  without  a  separate  title- 
page,  but  their  completeness  is  ascertained  by  the  paging  and  signatures."  Fora  list  of  books

After  General  Burgoyne's  surrender,  he  was  allowed  to  return  to  England  on  parole.  Think 
ing  himself  ill-treated  by  the  Government,  and  having  been  elected  member  of  Parliament 
for  Preston,  he  joined  the  opposition ;  whereupon  an  official  order  was  sent  to  him,  signifying 
that  it  was  the  King's  pleasure  that  he  should  return  to  America  and  rejoin  his  captive  army. 
He  remonstrated  and  was  again  ordered,  and  in  consequence  resigned  all  his  civil  and  military 
employments.  In  this  letter  he  gives  an  explanation  of  his  conduct.

printed  from  an  entirely  different  and  re-composed  form.  Besides  j  the  second  edition  was 
printed  for  the  author  at  Edinburgh,  whereas  this  was  printed  for  Strahan  at  London.  The

"  No  doubt  THE  FIRST  AMERICAN  EDITION."—  M'Kie's  "  Burnsiana." 

"  The  New  York  edition  of  the  works  of  Robert  Burns,  1788,  may  so  far  be  pronounced 
unique.  No  copy  with  the  exception  of  the  one  named  has  been  seen  by  the  most  sharp 
hawk-eyed  book  hunter,  or  the  keenest  bibliographer,  nor  by  any  of  the  living  generation  so 
far  as  known.  I  used  to  banter  the  Nestor  of  Vandewater  Street  (John  Allan,  who  was 
very  anxious  to  possess  this  book)  that  I  would  exchange  my  copy  of  the  first  American  edi 
tion  for  his  Kilmarnock,  the  first  Scotch  edition,  providing  he  would  add  a  fifty  dollar  bill

offer  and  so  never  had  the  pleasure  of  being  possessed  of  what  he  long  had  set  his  affections

It  is  a  reprint,  of  Burns'  second  edition  of  his  Poems,  with  the  Dedication  "  to  the  Noble 
men  and  Gentlemen  of  the  Caledonian  Hunt,"  but  leaving  out  the  List  of  Subscribers,  oc 
cupying  38  pages  in  the  original. —  The  late  William  Gowans  remarks  :  "  It  is  difficult  at  this 
time  to  determine,  whether  this  or  the  New  York  edition  bearing  the  same  date,  was  the  first 
of  Burns's  works  published  in  America.  It  may,  however,  be  presumed  that  the  Philadelphia 
edition  was  the  first  perhaps  by  a  month  or  two.  The  quaker  city  was  then  the  capital  of  the 
lately  enfranchised  Colonies,  and  as  a  matter  of  course  communication  with  Europe  was 
much  more  frequent  and  direct  than  [with]  any  other  port  on  the  Atlantic  coast."

"  This  Narrative  was  privately  printed  for  Mr.  G.  W.  Riggs  of  Washington,  entirely  for 
presentation  to  societies  and  personal  friends.  It  is  the  earliest  relation  of  Florida,  and  the 
territory  from  the  Atlantic  coast  across  the  Mississippi  to  the  Pacific  which  we  possess. 

The  narration  of  the  unfortunate  expedition  of  Cabeca  de  Vaca  across  the  territory  now 
occupied  by  the  Southern  States  from  Florida  to  Texas  in  the  year  1527,  nearly  three  and  a 
half  centuries  ago,  is  full  of  the  most  melancholy  yet  absorbing  interest.  Nine  years  of 
wanderings  and  captivity  among  the  Indians  elapsed  before  this  ill-fated  member  of  a  still 
more  unfortunate  band  escaped  almost  alone  of  all  who  set  out  so  joyously  with  him." —  T.

"  The  history  of  this  memoir  is  somewhat  curious,  and  is  probably  known  to  very  few  per 
sons.  It  bears  on  the  title  page,  'Printed  for  the  purchasers,  1809,'  and  was  copyrighted 
by  '  Thomas  Hall  5'  but  contains  no  name  of  either  author  or  publishers.  In  fact,  the  work 
never  was  published.  After  printing  a  considerable  edition  the  printers  became  alarmed,  in 
view  of  the  stringency  of  the  law  of  libel  at  the  time,  and  bethought  themselves  to  take  ad 
vice.  A  small  number  of  copies  —  I  think  twenty  —  were  bound,  and  one  of  them  was 
.  brought  to  the  late  Samuel  M.  Hopkins,  then  a  young  lawyer  in  Auburn,  N.  Y.,  for  his 
opinion.  Mr.  Hopkins  dipped  into  the  book  ;  read  some  twenty  or  thirty  pages  here  and 
there  5  and  informed  the  printer  that  '  he  found,  on  the  average,  a  libel  to  every  page.'  On 
this  the  memoir  was  suppressed."

Cartwright  suggested  the  expediency  of  an  Union  between  Great  Britain  and  her  Colonies

"  In  the  latter  part  of  1866  one  of  the  numbers  of  Trvibner's  monthly  catalogue  contained 
a  notice  of  a  pamphlet  purporting  to  be  written  by  Mr.  Catlin  upon  the  secret  customs  of  the 
Mandans,  said  to  be  indescribably  lascivious.  This  excited  the  indignant  denial  by  Mr. 
Catlin,  of  his  authorship  of  the  essay,  of  which,  as  only  fifty  copies  were  printed,  little  was 
known.  The  next  year,  as  a  more  effectual  disproval  of  his  association  with  what  he  deemed 
a  disreputable  performance,  Mr.  Catlin  produced  O-KEE-PA."  —  Field.

The  Emblems  and  other  works  of  Cats  have  for  two  centuries  been  household  books  in 
Holland,  both  for  their  moral  doctrine,  and  for  the  ingenious  designs  with  which  Adrian 
Van  de  Venne  symbolized  their  teachings.  The  Tail  pieces  are  from  Farlie's  "  Lights,  or

Frequently  as  we  read  of  the  Works  of  Caxton  and  the  early  English  Printers,  and  of  their 
SSlatfe  Hetter  Books,  very  few  persons  ever  had  the  opportunity  of  seeing  any  of  these  pro 
ductions,  and  forming  a  proper  estimate  of  the  ingenuity  and  skill  of  those  who  first  prac 
ticed  the  «  Noble  Art  of  Printing."  This  Fac-Simile  reproduction  of  the  FIRST  WORK  PRINTED 
BY  CAXTON  at  Westminster,  containing  23  woodcuts,  is  intended  in  some  measure  to  supply 
this  deficiency,  and  bring  the  present  age  into  somewhat  greater  intimacy  with  the  Father  of 
English  Printers.

Chalkley  was  a  Quaker  preacher,  who  came  to  America  in  the  year  1700,  and  settled  at 
Philadelphia.  He  travelled  and  preached  in  all  the  British  Colonies  from  New  England  to 
North  Carolina.  He  also  visited  the  West  India  Islands,  and  the  Bermudas.  "  Some  of 
the  New  England  priests,"  he  says,  "  were  so  bitter  against  Friends,  that,  instead  of  being 
humbled,  under  the  mighty  hand  of  God  upon  them  in  suffering  the  Indians  to  destroy  them, 
they  express'd  their  enmity  against  the  poor  Quakers."

The  author  carefully  suppressed  the  original  edition,  either  "  owing  to  the  separation  of 
the  colonies,  which  happened  just  at  the  season  for  publication,  namely,  December,  1782, 
or  the  prior  cause  in  April  precedent,  the  dismission  of  a  Tory  administration."  This  Boston

this,  has  been  replaced  with  an  exact  facsimile  by  the  Photo  Lithographic  process. 

The  copies  of  this  edition  vary  in  the  maps.  Mr.  Lenox's  copy  differs  from  that  in  the 
New  York  Historical  Society.  Sometimes  in  one  map  there  are  more  references  than  in  the 
other,  and  the  spelling  of  the  references  varies.  The  large  map  to  this  edition  is  usually  in 
two  parts,  and  is  very  often  wanting  or  defective. 

"  The  volume  contains  an  account  of  Champlain's  first  voyage  in  1604,  his  second  in  1610, 
and  his  third  in  1611.  At  the  end  of  the  book  is  an  account  of  his  fourth  voyage  in  1613, 
apparently  printed  separately,  after  the  first  three  were  published." — Rich. 

"  Copies  of  any  of  the  editions  of  Champlain  in  perfect  condition  are  exceedingly  rare,  and 
have,  within  a  few  years,  risen  to  almost  fabulous  prices.  $150  each  has  been  paid  for  the 
editions  of  1613,  1618,  1620,  1627,  and  1632."  —  Field.

us  in  establishing,  by  an  unimpeachable  authority,  the  story  of  the  awful  cruelties  which 
were  inflicted  upon  the  Indians  of  the  West  Indies  by  the  Spaniards.  Fac-simile  lithographs 
of  Champlain's  drawings  are  given ;  among  which  are  representations  of  Indian  feasts,  flog

A  most  beautiful  specimen  of  Early  Typography,  in  the  finest  possible  state.  ULRIC  ZELL 
was  the  first  Cologne  Printer  and  a  workman  for  Schoiffer,  one  of  the  first  printers.  To 
English  Collectors  his  productions  are  still  more  interesting  from  his  having  been  in  all  pro 
bability  the  chief  instructor  of  WILLIAM  CAXTON,  whose  residence  at  Cologne  is  attested  by 
himself  in  several  of  his  interesting  prefaces  and  colophons,  many  critics  have  also  considered 
that  he  was  the  actual  printer  of  the  celebrated  Trojan  Histories.  It  is  certain  that  Caxton 
used  the  same  types  at  Cologne,  probably  after  a  course  of  instructions  in  the  office  of  Zell, 
and  with  them  printed  his  celebrated  Playe  of  the  Chesse.  —  See  Humphreys  Hist,  of  Printing.

A  SPLENDID  COPY  ;  clean,  fresh  and  crisp  as  it  came  from  the  press,  and  altogether 
such  a  one  as  cannot  be  excelled. 

The  finest  production  of  Franklin's  press,  and  really  a  splendid  specimen  of  the  art.  The 
title  page  is  rubricated.  The  translator  was  Judge  James  Logan ;  and  Franklin,  in  his  ad 
dress,  "The  Printer  to  the  Reader,"  calls  it,  "this  first  translation  of  a  classic  in  this  Wes 
tern  World,"  which  is  not  strictly  correct.  Sandys'  translation  of  Ovid  was  made  in  Vir 
ginia  about  ninety  years  earlier,  but  printed  and  published  in  London  ;  and  Franklin  himself 
had  printed  Gate's  "Moral  Distiches,"  Englished  in  couplets,  in  1739,  which  translation  is 
attributed  to  James  Logan.  It  is,  doubtless,  the  second  classic  author  translated  and  printed 
in  North  America,  and  is  eagerly  sought  after  by  American  collectors.  UNCUT  copies  are 
among  the  RAREST  of  RARE  BOOKS.  We  know  of  but  four  copies  —  the  one  mentioned  above,

The  dedication  to  James  Alexander,  Esq.,  at  New  York,  is  dated,  "  Coldingham,  in  the 
Province  of  New  York,  Dec.  10,  1745,"  and  signed  Cadwallader  Golden.  The  work  seems 
to  have  become  scarce  as  early  as  1786,  for  in  January  of  that  year  Mr.  Jefferson,  writing 
to  Francis  Hopkinson,  observes  : —  "  Many,  many  years  ago,  Cadwallader  Golden  wrote  a  very 
small  pamphlet  on  the  subjects  of  Attraction  and  Impulsion,  a  copy  of  which  he  sent  to 
Monsieur  de  Buffbn.  He  was  so  charmed  with  it  that  he  put  it  into  the  hands  of  a  friend 
to  translate,  who  lost  it.  It  has  ever  since  weighed  upon  his  mind,  and  he  has  made  re 
peated  trials  to  have  it  found  in  England.  But  in  vain.  He  applied  to  me.  I  am  in  hopes 
if  you  write  a  line  to  the  booksellers  of  Philadelphia  to  rummage  their  shops,  that  some  of 
them  will  find  it.  Or  perhaps  some  of  the  careful  old  people  of  Philadelphia  or  New  Jersey 
may  have  preserved  a  copy."  Whether  Hopkinson  was  successful  does  not  appear.

Nearly  all  the  ballads  contained  in  this  interesting  collection  are  unique.     They  are  printed 
from  the  extraordinary  collection  which  belonged  successively  to  the  Duke  of  Roxburghe, 
and  Mr.  Bright.     At  the  sale  of  Mr.  Bright's  library,  in  1845,  they  produced  £535.

"  While  still  on  board  his  caravel,  February  I5th,  off  the  island  of  St.  Mary,  Columbus 
wrote  two  official  accounts  of  his  voyage,  one  of  which  was  addressed  to  Raphael  or  Gabriel 
Sanchez  or  Sanxis,  the  Crown  Treasurer.  No  copy,  either  in  print  or  in  manuscript,  of  the 
Spanish  original,  has  yet  been  found,  but  the  discovery  made  a  few  years  ago,  in  the  Am- 
brosian  Library,  of  a  printed  copy  of  the  letter  addressed  to  Luis  de  Santangel,  warrants  the 
belief  that  not  only  it  may  have  been  printed,  but  that  it  is  not  irretrievably  lost.  As  to  the 
original  itself,  notwithstanding  the  diligent  searches  instituted  by  Mufioz  in  Simancas,  and 
Navarrete  in  the  Lonja  at  Seville,  where,  after  the  establishment  of  the  General  Archives, 
of  the  Indies,  in  1792,  all  documents  relating  to  the  Western  World  had  been  transferred, 
no  traces  of  it  have  ever  been  discovered.  The  Spanish  text  of  the  letter  to  Santangel  had 
been  made  known  through  Navarrette,  who  possessed  a  transcript  from  the  original,  which, 
in  1818,  was  still  deposited  among  the  archives  at  Simancas.  It  was  not  known  then,  or 
even  suspected,  that  this  important  document  had  been  printed  before.  This  rarissime 
plaquette  is  printed  in  a  kind  of  semi-gothic  type,  of  the  roughest  character,  resembling  none 
of  the  incunabula  which  we  have  been  able  to  examine.  The  fact  alone  that  the  text  is  in 
the  Spanish  language  authorizes  the  belief  that  it  was  printed  in  Spain.  The  text  of  the 
Ambrosian  plaquette  was  first  published  three  years  ago.  It  is  also  in  two  late  American 
publications.  The  Marquis  D'Adda  has  lately  reproduced  the  entire  letter  in  facsimile."  —

8-z>0,  36  unnumbered  leaves ;  the  Letter  of  Columbus  filling  only  the  last  seven  and  a  half;  6 
'woodcuts.  Citron  morocco,  paneled  sides,  gilt  edges,  by  W.  MATTHEWS. 

Of  the  seven  early  editions  known  of  the  Cosco  translation  of  this  celebrated  Letter  of 
COLUMBUS,  only  two  bear  a  date.  The  first  part  of  the  work  is  simply  a  drama  on  the  cap 
ture  of  Granada  from  the  Moors  by  Ferdinand.  From  that  portion  of  the  volume  signature 
bb  is  wanting.  In  all  other  respects  it  is  a  most  superior  copy,  and  a  volume  OF  EXTREME 
RARITY. 

Washington  Irving,  in  his  life  of  Columbus,  is  very  eloquent  in  praise  of  the  language 
used  in  this  first  document  ever  printed  relative  to  the  discovery  of  America,  and  he  con 
siders  it,  on  the  whole,  as  far  more  authentic  and  valuable  than  the  subsequent  works  of  other 
authors,  who,  for  the  most  part,  wrote  of  things  they  never  saw,  and  who  recorded  as  facts, 
circumstances  and  deeds  which  were  entirely  fictitious,  and  existed  only  in  their  own  im 
aginations.  All  other  writers,  since  the  discovery  of  these  precious  gems,  unite  in  admiration 
and  the  warmest  eulogiums  of  their  merit  and  extraordinary  rarity.  Dr.  Robertson,  not 
withstanding  his  research,  was  totally  unacquainted  with  their  existence.

AN  UNEQUALLED  COLLECTION 

OF 

DIBDIN'S  BIBLIOGRAPHICAL  WORKS 

WITH  UPWARDS   OF 

ONE  THOUSAND  HIGH  CLASS  INSERTED  ILLUSTRATIONS. 

The  following,  beautiful,  very  complete,  and  extraordinary  assem 
blage  of  Dibdin's  Bibliographical  Works  has  been  made  at  a  large 
cost  of  time  and  money,  and  is  the  result  of  many  years  of  diligent 
and  discriminative  collecting.  We  venture  to  remark,  that  it  would 
be  difficult,  if  indeed  it  were  possible,  to  produce  another  such  set ;  a 
conclusion  at  which  the  intelligent  collector  will  speedily  arrive  on 
a  careful  perusal  of  the  notes  to  the  respective  works.  It  is  unneces 
sary  to  attempt  to  add  to  the  superlative  praises  which  have  been 
lavished  upon  the  works  of  Mr.  Dibdin  by  the  most  intelligent  critics, 
and  the  most  refined  admirers  of  the  productions  of  art.  An  English 
Reviewer  remarks,  "  we  are  decidedly  of  opinion  that  no  biblio 
graphical  collection  can  be  complete  without  Mr.  Dibdin's  volumes, 
which  are,  independent  of  the  solid  information  they  contain,  fre 
quently  enlivened  by  literary  anecdotes,  and  rendered  generally  in 
teresting  by  great  variety  of  observation,  and  acuteness  of  remark." 

Mr.  Allibone  observes,  "  Now  of  all  Englishmen  who  have  ever 
lived,  there  never  was  a  man  better  suited  to  make  a  dry  study  at 
tractive,  and  a  learned  subject  plain,  than  Dr.  Dibdin  of  Roxburghe 
memory.  This  magician  could  with  his.  pen  dress  up  a  begrimed, 
uncouth-looking  volume,  in  more  attractive  style  than  could  Grolier's 
binder  with  his  most  cunning  tools.  He  could  convert  '  Belindas ' 
and  '  Almasas  '  into  BIBLIOMANIACS,  and  make  a  dry  catalogue  of  old 
English  poetry  more  attractive  than  the  last  novel.  It  was  but  neces 
sary  for  him  to  apply  the  epithets  '  excessively  rare, '  or  '  exceedingly 
curious, '  and  the  neglected  Caxton  in  your  garret  would  buy  you  a 
year's  clothing  for  your  household,  and  the  old  family  Bible  would 
defray  your  Christmas  festivities." 

The  set  here  noted  is  especially  remarkable  for  the  strength  and 
beauty  of  the  impressions  of  the  plates,  the  spotless  purity  of  the  paper, 
its  large  and  uncut  margins,  the  appropriate  chasteness  of  its  binding, 
and  the  extraordinary  character  of  the  numerous  added  illustrations. 
As  the  several  works  of  Dibdin  greatly  vary  in  size,  an  attempt 
has  been  made,  in  the  present  instance,  to  obtain  all  the  uniformity 
of  range  possible.  This  can  only  be  accomplished  by  selecting  large 
paper  copies  of  some  of  the  works,  and  small  paper  copies  of  others, 
which  method  has  been  adopted  by  the  owner  of  this  set,  with  very 
considerable  success.  The  collection  is  uniformly  bound  in  half 
crushed  rich  olive  brown  levant  morocco,  gilt  top,  UNCUT,  by  W. 
MATTHEWS  ;  Mr.  Utterson's  copy  of  the  "  Bibliomania,"  and  "  Book 
Rarities,"  excepted,  which  are  gilt  edged. 


DlBDIN.  113 

The  tools  used  in  its  ornamentation  were  cut  expressly  for  the  set, 
and  each  volume  has  had  the  same  care  and  attention  in  its  forward 
ing  and  finishing,  as  if  it  were  in  full  binding  ;  the  present  style  having 
been  adopted  in  order  that  perfect  freedom  might  be  exercised  in  the 
use  of  the  volumes  for  reference  or  examination.  In  fine,  we  do  not 
hesitate  to  state,  that,  taking  the  collection  volume  for  volume,  leaf 
for  leaf,  and  plate  for  plate,  its  purity  and  beauty  of  condition  cannot 
be  excelled,  if  indeed  equalled,  by  any  other,  either  in,  or  out  of,  the 
United  States.  It  may  here  be  remarked  that  no  part  of  the  set  has 
been  subjected  to  the  process  of  washing,  as  the  crisp  and  firm  texture 
of  each  and  every  leaf,  throughout,  will  sufficiently  testify. 

The  several  works  are  here,  with  two  or  three  exceptions,  arranged 
in  chronological  order.

Many  of  the  plates  in  this  copy  are  selected  impressions  from  the  unused  stock  in  the  hands

This  second  edition  contains  a  map,  which  is  not  in  the  first.  The  map  is  entitled, 
"  Nova  Belgica,  sive  Nieuw  Nederlandt,"  and  is  copied  from  the  rare  map  of  N.  J.  Vischer.

"  A  large  part  of  this  very  rare  work  is  devoted  to  a  description  of  the  natives  of  the  New 
Netherlands.  Van  der  Donck  arrived  in  New  Amsterdam  in  1642.  He  served  as  the 
sheriff  of  the  colony  of  Rensselaerwyck,  and  purchased  an  estate  on  the  Hudson,  near  the 
site  of  the  village  of  Yonkers.  Before  this  work  was  published,  he  had  printed  An  Exposi 
tion  of  the  Neiu  Netherlands  (Hague,  1650,)  in  which  the  administrations  of  Kieft  and 
Stuyvesant  were  vigorously  assailed.  A  division  of  the  work  before  us,  found  on  page  52, 
is  entitled,  "  Of  the  Manners  and  peculiar  Customs  of  the  Natives  of  the  New-Netherlands." 
This  is  subdivided  into  twenty-two  sections,  each  treating  of  some  of  the  peculiarities  of  the 
savages  of  the  state  of  New  York.  The  whole  covering  pp.  52  to  8 1.  The  treatise  possesses 
an  interest  beyond  its  rarity,  in  being  the  relation  of  an  educated  man,  regarding  the  Indians 
of  the  island  and  neighborhood  of  New-York.  The  work  was  translated  by  Gen.  J.  John 
son,  and  printed  in  the  sixth  volume  of  the  New  York  Historical  Society." —  Field.

The  life  of  William  Penn,  annexed  to  this  edition  of  Duche,  was  written  by  Edmund 
Rack,  of  Bath,  and  the  whole  work  was  edited  by  him ;  it  includes  an  entire  reprint  of  "  A 
brief  account  of  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania,"  published  by  Penn  in  1 68 1,  in  folio.  Duche 
was  "  The  Assistant  Minister  Of  Christ's  Church  And  St.  Peter's  In  Philadelphia  In  North 
America,"  and  his  signature  of  "  Tamoc  Caspipina"  forms  the  initial  letters  of  those  words.

Adams  gives  an  interesting  account  of  the  scene  when  Duche  made  the  first  prayer  in 
Congress,  and  in  conclusion  says,  "  Duche  is  one  of  the  most  ingenious  men,  and  best  cha 
racters,  and  greatest  orators  in  the  Episcopal  order, —  yet  a  zealous  friend  of  liberty  and  of  his 
country."  "  Duche's  reputation,  however,  has  a  less  amiable  and  honorable  side  ;  of  him  it 
has  been  written  :  *  He,  whose  sublime  prayer  as  Chaplain  of  the  Continental  Congress,

6  -voh.,  8-uo,  crushed  green  levant  morocco,  paneled  sides,  corner  ornaments,  gilt  top,  UNCUT, 
in  the  best  style  of  MR.  MATTHEWS. 

Two  volumes  extended  to  six,  with  RUBRICATED  TITLES  printed  expressly  for  the  set,  and 
an  INDIA  PROOF  VIGNETTE  mounted  in  each.  The  inserted  ILLUSTRATIONS  exceed  FIVE  HUN 
DRED  in  number,  ALL  of  which  are  UNEXCEPTIONALLY  FINE  and  APPROPRIATE,  and  many  of 
which  could  not,  probably,  now  be  duplicated. 

This   BEAUTIFULLY  BOUND,   and   ELEGANTLY   ILLUSTRATED  Work  is  One  of   the  GEMS  of  this 

collection  ;  and  is,  perhaps,  at  once,  one  of  the  MOST  EXTENSIVELY  as  well  as  MOST  TASTEFULLY 
ILLUSTRATED  sets  in  existence.  As  intending  purchasers  will  examine  and  decide  for  them 
selves,  we  refrain  from  attempting  to  describe  the  contents  of  this  UNIOJJE,  ELEGANT,  and 
HIGHLY  INTERESTING  BOOK,  further  than  to  quote  what  here  follows  from  an  intelligent 
correspondent  of  the  New  York  Evening  Mail.  "  Among  the  illustrations  will  be  found 
portraits  of  almost  all  the  prominent  American  artists  named  in  the  work,  and  engraved 
specimens,  so  far  as  they  could  be  procured,  of  the  style  or  manner  of  each  individual  painter 
or  engraver.  In  illustrating  this  book  its  present  owner  has  exhibited  admirable  judgment 
in  the  selection  of  specimens  of 'the  different  styles  of  our  artists.  He  has  in  all  cases  en 
deavoured  to  secure  an  impression  from  the  very  block  or  plate  criticised  or  otherwise  spoken 
of  in  the  text.  This  is  the  true  and  only  correct  method  of  illustrating  such  works ;  here 
we  have  the  engraving  on  one  page  and  on  the  other  a  criticism  of  it  —  the  artist  and  the 
critic  communing  as  it  were,  together."  _  . 

The  following  work  which  may  be  considered  as  a  continuation  of  this,  is  uniform  in  size 
and  style  of  binding,  and  should  accompany  it.

This  is  one  of  the  copies  having  the  DEDICATION  TO  KING  CHARLES,  of  which,  according 
to  Thomas,  (Hist,  of  Printing.}  TWENTY  COPIES  ONLY  were  printed. 

It  has  been  newly  bound  by  MR.  FRANCIS  BEDFORD,  who  pronounced  it  to  be  the  FINEST 
COPY  he  had  ever  seen,  and  who  thus  describes  his  own  work.  "  Olive  Levant  gros  grained 
morocco  ;  Elegantly  Ornamented  back,  and  double  paneled  sides,  Diamond  Centre  and  Diamond 
Corners  in  rich  Harleian  style,  joints  inside  richly  hand  tooled,  and  crimson  silk  linings  against 
marble  paper  facings^  double  silk  bead  bands,  enclosed  in  a  Solander  Case  of  blue  English  morocco, 
full  gilt  and  lettered  back,  lined  'with  ivhite  -velvet." 

Mr.  J.  H.  Trumbull's  Translation  of  the  Catechism  at  the  end  of  the  volume,  of  which  a 
fevj  copies  only  were  printed  for  presentation  to  the  owners  of  copies  of  the  Bible,  will  accompany 
it.  The  Translation  matches  and  ranges  with  the  Solander  case  containing  the  Bible,  and 
was  also  bound  by  MR.  BEDFORD. 

This  copy  was  a  duplicate  from  the  Bodleian  Library  at  Oxford,  and  reached  the  United 
States  in  1862,  seeking  a  purchaser  at  $1000.  It  was  bought  by  Mr.  Bruce,  and  again  sold 
at  the  dispersion  of  his  library  in  1868,  when  the  writer  bought  it  for  Mr.  Rice,  at  a  cost  of 
$1150.  It  was  then  first  discovered  that  the  leaf  of  contents  was  wanting.  Fortunately, 
however,  an  imperfect  copy  of  the  Bible  happened  to  be  accessible,  from  which  the  needed 
leaf  was  obtained,  and  Mr.  Rice  was  made  happy  by  the  acquisition  of  what  he  imagined  to 
be  a  perfect  copy  of  Eliot's  Indian  Bible.  At  the  sale  of  Mr.  Rice's  collection  in  1870,  it 
again  changed  hands,  having  been  purchased  by  Mr.  Bouton,  from  whom  it  was  obtained  by 
its  present  owner,  who  discovered  that  the  leaf  of  contents  inserted  by  Mr.  Rice,  was  that 
belonging  to  the  second  edition,  and  replaced  it  with  a  GENUINE  leaf  from  an  imperfect  copy 
of  the  FIRST  EDITION  then  in  his  possession.  The  book  is  therefore  now  ABSOLUTELY  PER 
FECT  THROUGHOUT;  a  GENUINE  FIRST  EDITION  from  BEGINNING  TO  END,  beyond  cavil  or 
question.  It  is  without  doubt,  the  FINEST  COPY  that  has,  for  many  years,  been  offered  for  sale, 
and  is  believed  to  be  the  BEST,  in  point  of  size,  preservation,  and  internal  condition  (if  we 
except  the  Bodleian  Library  stamp,  on  the  reverse  of  the  titles),  of  any  on  this  side  of  the 
Atlantic.  The  Allan  copy  was  slightly  SHORTER.  In  this  copy  PROOF  LEAVES  are  to  be  met 
with  at  every  few  pages,  while  in  the  Allan  copy  there  were  few  or  none.  In  short,  it  is 
a  MATCHLESS  COPY. 

"Mr.  Eliot,  pastor  of  Roxbury,  Mass.,  commenced,  at  the  age  of  forty  two,  the  study  of 
the  Natick  Indian  dialect,  in  which  this  work  is  printed.  In  1 649,  having  made  some  pro 
ficiency,  he  expressed  a  desire  to  translate  a  portion  of  the  Scriptures  into  that  language  for 


ELIOT.  135 

the  use  of  the  Indians  to  whom  he  acted  as  a  Missionary,  and  with  the  aid  of  an  Indian, 
completed  the  translation  of  the  entire  Bible,  including  the  Old  and  New  Testament,  in 
1658,  after  a  labor  of  eight  years.  This  fact  having  been  communicated  to  the  Corporation 
established  in  London  for  the  Propagation  of  the  Gospel  among  the  Indians  of  New-England, 
that  body  expressed  themselves,  in  a  letter  dated  yth  of  May,  1659,  on  the  subject  of  printing 
the  work,  in  the  following  terms  : 

*  As  to  the  printing  of  the  Bible  in  the  Indian  language ;  mensioned  in  Mr.  Endicott's 
f  letter  ;  which  wee  vnderstand  is  alreddy  translated  into  the  Indian  tounge ;  wee  conceuie 
'  will  not  onely  be  acceptable  vnto  God ;  but  very  profitable  to  the  poor  heathen  and  will 
'  much  tend  to  the  promotion  of  the  sperituall  part  of  this  worke  amongst  them  ;  and  therfor 
1  wee  offer  it  not  only  as  our  owne  but  as  the  judgment  of  others  that  the  New  Testament 

*  bee  first  printed  in  the  Indian  language.'     The  printing  of  that  part  was  accordingly  com 
menced   by  Samuel   Green,  of  Cambridge,  the  same  year.       Writing  in  April,  1660,  the 
Corporation  add  :   '  We  haue  out  of  our  desire   to  further  a  worke  of  soe    great  consernment 

*  hauing  hopes  that  somethinge  will  bee  collected  in  particulare  with  Relation  to  the  printing 
'of  the  ould  Testament,  agreed  with  an  able  Printer  for  three  years.'" 

Marmaduke  Johnson  accordingly  arrived  in  this  country  to  superintend  the  printing. 

"  It  has  been  already  stated  that  Mr.  Eliot  completed  the  immense  labour  of  translating 
this  Bible  in  1658,  but  the  printing  of  the  Old  Testament  was  not  commenced  until  1660. 
In  September  of  that  year,  a  sheet  of  Genesis  was  transmitted  to  England.  '  The  printers  doubt 
not  but  to  print  a  sheet  every  tueeke,  and  compute  the  "whole  to  amount  to  a  hundred  and  fifty  sheets.' 
In  September,  1661,  the  five  books  of  Moses  were  printed;  in  September,  1662,  the  work 
was  about  half  done,  and  completed  in  September,  1663.  Three  years  were  thus  occupied 
m  the  completion  of  the  Old  Testament.  The  Corporation  had  already  ordered,  in  April, 
1663,  '  that  the  Psalmes  of  David,  in  meter,  shalbee  printed  in  the  Indian  language.'  On 
the  1 8th  of  Sept.,  following,  twenty  copies  of  the  Bible  were  ordered  to  be  sent  to  England, 
'and  as  many  of  the  Psalmes,  if  printed  of  before  the  shippes  departure  from  hence.'  The 
edition,  including  the  Psalm  books,  consisted  of  upwards  of  1000  copies.  Three  hundred 
and  sixty-eight  reams  of  paper  were  used  in  printing  the  Bible ;  the  expense  ranged  from 
sixty  to  seventy  shillings  sterling  a  sheet.  The  cost  of  printing  the  Psalms  was  forty  shil 
lings  a  sheet,  or  £26,  in  the  whole;  of  printing  the  'Epistle  dedicatory'  to  the  Bible,  £i, 
and  of '  binding  and  clasping,'  two  shillings  and  sixpence  per  copy.  JOHN  RATCLIFF,  the 
bookbinder,  objected  to  this  low  price,  and  avowed  in  a  petition  to  the  Commissioners, 
'  that  under  35.  4d.  or  33.  6d.  per  book'  he  could  not  bind  them  and  live  comfortably,  '  one 
Bible  being  as  much  as  he  could  compleat  in  one  day,'  and  find  the  materials." — O'CAL- 

LAGHAN. 

Among  the  many  points  of  interest  which  this  book  possesses,  not  the  least  is  the  fact, 
that  it  is  the  language  of  a  nation  no  longer  in  existence,  and  is  almost  the  only  monument 
of  the  race ;  another,  that  it  is  the  first  edition  of  the  Bible  published  in  this  country.  The 
very  sight  of  it  caused  the  quaint  Cotton  Mather  to  exclaim  :  "  Behold,  ye  Americans,  the 
greatest  honour  that  ever  you  'were  partakers  of!  This  ...  is  the  only  Bible  that  ever  <was  printed 
in  all  America,  from  the  very  foundation  of  the  World" 

The  names  of  the  Books  are  retained  as  in  the  English  versions,  and  such  words  as  were 
unknown  to  the  Indians  are  retained  with  an  Indian  termination,  such  as  cherubim/^,  &c. 
The  longest  word  is,  Mark,  i,  40 :  Wutteppesittukqussunnoowehtunkquoh,  signifying 
"  kneeling  down  to  him."

Martin,  in  his  "  Catalogue  of  Books,  Privately  Printed,"  notices  but  seven  titles  during  the 
entire  century  in  which  this  interesting  little  volume  was  printed.  This,  the  only  knoiun 
copy  is  uncut,  and  has  manuscript  alterations  by  a  contemporary  hand  —  probably  by  Eliot 
himself.  It  is,  we  believe,  UNIQUE.

CHARLES  THOMSON,  Secretary  to  Congress,  was  the  author  of  this  most  interesting  and 
valuable  Enquiry. 

11  One  of  the  principal  causes  of  the  hostility  of  the  Pennsylvania  Indians,  was  the  wicked 
craft  practiced  upon  them  by  Governor  Thomas  Penn,  and  other  proprietors  in  1737.  Certain 
chiefs  having  been  called  together  by  the  speculators,  two  persons  were  found  to  testify  that 
they  were  present  at  a  council  fifty  years  before,  at  which  as  much  land  was  ceded  to  William 
Penn,  as  a  man  could  walk  around  in  a  day  and  a  half.  There  was  a  chief  living  who  could 
have  proved  this  testimony  false,  but  he  was  carefully  kept  in  ignorance  of  the  council,  and 
by  mean  fraud,  endless  perjury,  and  tempting  but  specious  gifts,  the  surreptitious  deed  was 
ratified.  To  locate  as  large  a  territory  as  possible,  a  trained  pedestrian  was  employed,  who 
was  met  at  appointed  stations  by  refreshments,  and  thus  was  enabled  to  traverse  a  route  which 
cut  off  a  million  acres  from  the  Indian  territory.  Less  than  one  third  that  quantity  of  land 
was  the  amount  which  the  Indians  had  been  led  to  expect  would  be  ceded.  Endless  con 
ferences,  and  numerous  councils,  were  followed  by  bloody  massacres,  that  devastated  the 
border  settlements  of  Pennsylvania  and  Virginia,  for  twenty  years.  Mr.  Thomson's  work 
fully  analyzes  the  cause  of  the  alienation,  which  the  heroic  Quaker,  Christian  Post,  hazarded 
his  life  to  overcome." —  Field.

So  far,  the  most  extensive  list  of  books  on  this  subject.  Mr.  Field  has  devoted  many  years 
to  the  acquisition  of  the  books,  and  his  notes,  which  are  numerous,  convey  much  valuable 
information  concerning  not  only  the  books,  but  the  Indians  themselves.  We  have  made  free 
use  of  his  notes  in  the  compilation  of  this  catalogue. 

"This  bibliographical  handbook,  embracing  a  collection  of  about  1800  works,  may  be 
considered  the  chief,  if  not  the  only  one  of  its  kind.  The  author's  notes  are  judicious  and 
valuable,  and  have  an  interest  beyond  even  the  actual  subject  of  the  Essay.  Collectors  of 
Americana  of  every  kind  will  derive  pleasure  and  profit  from  a  labour  that  evinces  a  wide 
range  of  study  and  experience." —  B.  <$uaritcb.

George  Fox  was  the  founder  of  the  Society  of  Friends  or  Quakers.  In  the  course  of  his

DR.  FRANKLIN'S  COPY,  WITH  HIS  MANUSCRIPT  NOTES.  This  was  purchased  at  the  sale  or 
Mr.  Morrell's  Library,  from  whose  catalogue  the  following  notice  is  reprinted  :  "  Of  this 
unique  volume,  possessing  as  it  does  the  greatest  historical  interest,  it  is  needless  to  say  more 
than  that  I  have  always  considered  it  one  of  the  choicest,  in  point  of  rarity,  in  my  collection. 
The  following  lines  in  Franklin's  handwriting,  on  page  12,  will  serve  as  a  specimen  of  the 
character  of  the  notes  (with  which  nearly  every  page  is  copiously  filled)  :  «  My  Duty  to  the 
King  &  Justice  to  my  Country,  will,  I  hope,  justify  me  if  I  likewise  protest,  which  I  do 
with  all  Humility,  in  behalf  of  myself  and  of  Every  American,  and  of  our  Posterity,  against 
your  Declaratory  Bill,  that  the  Parliament  of  Great  Britain,  hath  not,  never  had,  and  or 
Right  never  can  have,  without  our  Consent  given  either  before  or  after,  Power  to  make 
Laws  of  sufficient  Force  to  bind  the  Subjects  in  America  in  any  Case  whatever,  and  particu 
larly  in  Taxation.'  " 

On  the  last  leaf  occurs  the  following,  also  in  FRANKLIN'S  HANDWRITING.  "  I  have  some 
little  Property  in  America.  I  will  freely  spend  nineteen  Shillings  in  the  Pound  to  defend 
my  Right  of  giving  or  refusing  the  other  Shilling,  and  after  all,  if  I  cannot  defend  that  Right, 
I  can  retire  chearfully  with  my  little  Family  into  the  Boundless  Woods  of  America  which 
are  sure  to  afford  Freedom  and  Subsistance  to  any  man  who  can  bait  a  Hook  of  pull  a  Trigger."

The  set  of  "  ILLUMINATED  ILLUSTRATIONS"  which  is  inserted  in  this  fine  copy,  contains 
beautiful  impressions  of  the  SEVENTY-TWO  ILLUSTRATIONS  IN  GOLD  AND  COLOURS,  of  the  FIRST 
ISSUE  of  1844—45  5  published  at  twelve  guineas.  In  consequence  of  the  wear  of  the  stones 
the  subsequent  issues  are  defaced  and  undesirable.  The  work  itself  is  the  FIRST  EDITION 
of  Smith's  reprint.  The  numerous  woodcuts  are  consequently  fine,  strong,  and  brilliant 
impressions. 

TWO  ELEGANT  VOLUMES. 

Sir  Walter  Scott,  in  his  "  Tales  of  my  Landlord,"  thus  speaks  of  the  above  :  "  Did  you 
ever  read  Froissart  ?"  "  No,"  said  Morton.  "  I  have  half  a  mind,"  said  Claverhouse,  "  to 
contrive  you  should  have  six  months'  imprisonment  in  order  to  procure  you  that  pleasure. 
His  chapters  inspire  me  with  more  enthusiasm  than  even  poetry  itself."

"I  rejoice  you  have  met  with  Froissart  j  he  is  the  Herodotus  of  a  barbarous  age  ;  had  he 
but  had  the  luck  of  writing  in  as  good  a  language  he  might  have  been  immortal !  His  loco 
motive  disposition  (for  then  there  was  no  other  way  of  learning  things),  his  simple  curiosity,

158  GAGE. 

This  elegant  copy  has  been  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  Utterson,  and  the  Rev.  T.  Corser, 
and  is  worthy  of  companionship  with  the  choicest  of  books.  It  is  of  the  GREATEST  POSSIBLE 
RARITY  in  a  fine  and  complete  condition  like  this.  There  is  a  copy  in  the  Lambeth  Library, 
and  one  in  the  British  Museum,  and  there  was  said  to  be  a  copy  in  the  collection  of  Mr. 
Nuenburg,  but  it  did  not  appear  in  the  catalogue  of  his  library.  It  is  conspicuous  by  its  ab 
sence  from  the  Grenville  collection,  and  from  the  library  at  Althorpe;  nor  did  Mr.  Heber 
succeed  in  obtaining  it.  Dibdin  never  saw  a  copy,  but  described  it  from  Herbert's  account. 
The  present  example  is  a  very  desirable  one,  as  it  rarely  happens  that  an  English  book  of  so 
early  a  date,  by  one  of  the  first  printers,  is  found  in  such  clean,  sound  state.  Next  after  CAXTON, 
the  name  of  his  pupil,  WYNKYN  DE  WORDE,  is  most  famous  in  the  annals  of  English  typo 
graphy.  Although  by  birth  a  Lorrainer,  he  devoted  himself  to  England,  and  did  more  than 
any  other  of  the  early  English  printers  to  spread  knowledge  by  means  of  the  press.

This  book  is  remarkable  as  the  first  and  only  extensive  work  by  an  English  author  upon 
the  Spanish  Indies  as  seen  from  within.  It  is  most  entertaining  and  instructive,  notwith 
standing  the  singularly  superstitious  tales  that  it  narrates.  Gage  belonged  to  the  Dominican 
order  originally,  but  joined  the  English  church  before  he  wrote  his  travels.  The  aid  chapter 
relating  to  his  journey  to  Rome,  was  suppressed  in  the  subsequent  editions.

Galloway  at  first  espoused  American  independency,  but  subsequently  joined   the  home

of  the  colonies  and  against  their  independence.     Trumbull  hits  him  hard,  thus : — 
"  Did  you  not,  in  as  vile  and  shallow  way, 
Fright  our  poor  Philadelphian,  Galloway,

Belied,  berated  and  bescribbled  ?

Dr.  Gordon  went  to  America  in  1770,  remained  there  until  1786,  and  wrote  a  con 
siderable  part  of  his  work  on  the  spot.  Congress  allowed  him  the  inspection  of  such  records 
as  could  with  propriety  be  submitted  to  the  perusal  of  a  private  person.  Washington,  Gates, 
Greene,  Lincoln  and  Otho  H.  Williams,  also  allowed  a  liberal  examination  of  their  papers. 
"  The  accounts  here  given  of  American  Affairs,"  says  the  author,  "  are  so  different  in  seve 
ral  respects  from  what  have  been  the  conceptions  of  many  on  each  side  of  the  Atlantic,  that 
it  was  necessary  to  insert  a  variety  of  letters,  papers,  and  anecdotes,  to  authenticate  the 
narrative."

"'  Written  by  himself,'  or  this  little  book  of  96  pages  would  most  likely  have  been  pro 
nounced  the  greatest  libel  upon  the  greatest  man  New  York  ever  produced.  It  has  been 
claimed  to  the  honor  of  his  friends  that  they  endeavored  to  suppress  it.  It  was  copyrighted, 
and  never  reprinted  but  once  until  recently,  but  scarce  as  it  has  become,  it  is  now  part  of 
American  literature.  Hamilton  was  charged  with  *  a  connection  with  one  James  Reynolds 
for  purposes  of  improper  pecuniary  speculation.'  '  My  real  crime,'  confesses  the  late  Secretary 
not  without  a  blush,  'is  an  amorous  connection  with  his  [Reynolds]  wife  for  a  considerable 
time,  with  his  privity  and  connivance.'  That  was  how  he  came  to  be  the  private  banker 
of  the  husband  of  Mrs.  Reynolds,  '  from  whose  conversation  it  was  quickly  apparent  that 
other  than  pecuniary  consolation  would  be  acceptable,'  p.  18.  Truth  never  appeared  so 
naked  as  in  these  confessions  of  Alexander  Hamilton."  —  Stevens.

Mission,  its  wonderful  success  and  its  appalling  destruction.  He  was  able  to  give  a  thousand 
particulars  from  personal  experience,  and  it  is  at  once  an  interesting  story,  abounding  in 
veritable  incidents  ;  and  a  valuable  history,  fortified  by  impregnable  facts.  Forty  years  of 
missionary  life  among  the  Delaware  and  Shawnese  tribes,  had  amply  fitted  the  author  to  re

"  Hennepin  was  persecuted,  and  has  been  severely  criticised,  chiefly  on  account  of  his  op 
position  to  the  Jesuits,  and  because  he  counselled  William  III.  (in  whose  dominions  he  had 
sought  for  the  freedom  and  safety  which  he  could  not  find  in  France)  to  send  out  missiona 
ries  to  the  New  World.  His  enemies  considered  such  advice  from  a  monk  as  heretical 
and  detestable ;  it  simply  proves  the  wiser,  purer  and  more  Catholic  Christianity  of  Henne 
pin,  who  had  no  bigoted  horror  for  other  sects  than  his  own." —  Stevens.

"  No  one  has  ever  disputed  the  fidelity  of  old  Herrera,  styled  the  Prince  of  Historians,  to 
the  sources  of  information  then  accessible,  and  no  one  has  ever  exceeded  him  in  careful  re 
search,  and  interesting  narration  of  aboriginal  history.  He  sought  and  obtained  many  of  the 
original  documents,  which  the  industry  and  spirit  of  the  old  missionaries  and  explorers  made 
so  numerous  and  voluminous.  He  copied,  almost  bodily,  the  MS.  History  of  the  Indies  by 
Las  Casas.  Mr.  Squier  notices  that  he  has  transferred  almost  the  entire  MS.  Relacion  of 
Palacio,  to  chapters  8,  9,  and  10  of  the  Eighth  Book  of  his  Fourth  Decade.  His  work  is  a

Folio,  thick  gros  grained  broivn  levant  morocco  elegant,  richly  blind  tooled  entirely  over  the 
covers  to  an  old  English  Caxton  pattern,  with  Tudor  Rose,  Fleurs  de  Lis  and  Acorns,  in  exact 
facsimile  of  an  early  Caxton  binding,  gilt  edges,  by  F.  BEDFORD.  EXTREMELY  RARE. 

This  LARGE  and  ELEGANT  copy  of  the  POLYCHRONICON,  than  which  "  few  of  Caxton's 
books  have  excited  more  interest  and  research,"  is  a  SPLENDID  EXAMPLE  of  typographical  art 
from  the  hands  of  ENGLAND'S  FIRST  PRINTER  nearly  FOUR  HUNDRED  YEARS  ago.  It  measures 
yj  inches  by  io£  inches  on  the  leaf,  and  therefore,  is  fully  up  to  the  average  size  of  all  the 
copies  referred  to  by  Mr.  Blades  in  his  life  of  Caxton.  Of  the  29  copies  enumerated  by  him 
all  but  five  are  imperfect,  some  being  fragments  merely,  as  in  the  case  of  one  of  those  in 
the  British  Museum,  which  contains  but  six  leaves  only.  A  noticeable  feature  in  Mr. 
Blades's  list  is  that  almost  every  incomplete  copy  is  deficient  in  the  earlier  portions  of  the 
work,  thus  accounting  for  the  fact  that  the  two  leaves  of  the  Proheme  alone,  would  pro 
bably  command  forty  pounds  in  London. 

This  beautiful  copy  contains  ALL  the  prefatory  matter,  except  the  Table  of  Contents,  with 
which  exception,  and  that  of  the  "Liber  Ultimus  "  written  by  Caxton  himself  in  continua 
tion  of  the  history,  it  will  be  found  to  meet  Mr.  Blades's  collation  of  the  text  in  every  par 
ticular.  A  few  leaves  have  been  repaired  by  Mr.  Bedford  in  his  neatest  manner.  In  every 
other  respect  the  volume  is  in  a  FINE  STATE  OF  PRESERVATION.

The  first  systematic  work,  on  the  Reptiles  of  the  United  States,  ever  attempted.  The 
PLATES,  157  in  number,  are  beautifully  COLOURED;  and  it  appears  to  be  in  every  way  worthy 
of  a  place  in  the  library  of  the  Naturalist  by  the  side  of  Wilson's  great  work  on  our  Birds. 
Complete  sets,  like  the  present,  are  VERY  SCARCE,  the  fourth  and  fifth  volumes,  of  which  a

This  book  (says  Walpole)  was  the  first  regular  collection  of  English  Heads,  and  though 
it  had  probably  a  wide  circulation  upon  its  appearance,  it  is  at  this  time  in  a  complete  state, 
very  rare.  What  greatly  enhances  its  merits  is,  that  all  the  portraits,  also  the  two  monu

"  The  collecting  and  publication  of  these  important  papers  in  England  is  due  to  Thomas 
Hollis,  an  ardent  friend  of  the  Colonies  in  London.  They  include  the  celebrated  letter 
written  by  Samuel  Adams  to  Dennis  De  Berdt,  Agent  for  the  House  of  Representatives  in 
England,  dated  January  12,  1768,  adopted  by  the  Colonial  Legislature  and  signed  by  the 
Speaker.  Until  recently  there  were  doubts  as  to  the  authorship  of  this  document,  but  all 
uncertainty  is  now  removed,  Mr.  Bancroft  having  in  his  possession  the  original  draft  in  the 
handwriting  of  Mr.  Adams.  In  speaking  of  this  Mr.  Bancroft  says,  "  On  the  sixth  day  of 
January,  and  for  the  evening  and  morning  of  many  succeeding  days,  the  paper  was  under 
severe  examination.  Seven  times  it  was  revised  ;  every  word  was  weighed,  every  sentence 
considered  ;  and  each  seemingly  harsh  expression  tempered  and  refined.  At  last,  on  the 
twelfth  of  January,  the  letter  was  adopted,  to  be  sent  to  the  Agent,  communicated  to  the 
British  Ministry,  and  published  to  the  world,  as  expressing  the  unchangeable  opinions  of 
Massachusetts." — History  of  the  United  States,  Vol.  VI.  p.  120-125.

"  Thielmann  Kerver,  who  commenced  to  publish  his  *  Hours  *  in  1497,  at  first  used  the 
press  of  Jean  Philippe  j  but  he  soon  printed  for  himself,  for  we  remark  that  from  the  end 
of  this  same  year,  1497,  he  printed  for  Jean  Richard  of  Rouen,  and  for  Pierre  Regnault  of 
Caen,  who,  in  1492  had  employed  Pigouchet.  He  lived  then  on  Pont  St.  Michel.  Three 
years  after,  he  sold  his  shop  to  Gillett  Remacle,  bookseller,  for  whom  he  printed  *  Hours  '  in 
1500,  1501,  1  502  and  1503,  in  the  Rue  St.  Jacques,  where  he  died  in  1522.  His  widow  suc

all  forms.  One  remarkable  thing  is,  that  though  the  editions  are  very  numerous,  the  *  Hours  ' 
of  Kerver  are  rarer  than  those  of  Vostre  or  of  the  two  Hardouins.  This  comes  probably 
from  the  fact  that  few  were  printed  upon  vellum,  and  that  the  copies  on  paper  have  been 
destroyed.  Besides,  among  those  which  appeared  before  1520,  only  the  first,  with  borders 
round  the  pages,  are  worthy  of  being  collected  ;  and  these  borders  are  desirable  for  the  arab 
esque,  a  style  in  which  he  excelled.  It  is  supposed  that  Kerver  rarely  used  painting  to 
decorate  his  books,  for  but  few  have  come  down  to  us  thus  ornamented.  "  —  Brunei.

IVELY  RARE  WORK. 

The  only  copy  that  has  been  sold  in  New  York  during  many  years  was  in  the  Bruce  sale. 
It  was  bought  for  Mr.  Rice  and  resold  with  his  Collection  when  it  brought  $140.00,  and 
was  a  copy  much  inferior  to  this.  Mr.  Quaritch,  in  a  recent  catalogue,  offers  a  copy  for 
£45,  and  remarks  "  I  know  of  no  other  copy  sold  in  the  London  market."  The  work  had 
become  so  scarce  even  in  1810,  that  the  editor  of  the  edition  of  that  year  intimates  that  he 
experienced  the  greatest  difficulty  in  finding  a  copy.  Parker  (the  printer  of  this  volume) 
was  an  apprentice  to  Bradford,  and  succeeded  to  the  business  in  1742.

speaking,  a  necessary  part  of  the  work.  We  have  never  seen  a  copy  in  the  original  binding 
which  did  not  contain  it.  It  possesses  in  itself  high  bibliographical  interest,  for,  according  to

all  the  printing  in  the  British  Colonies,  previous  to  1676,  being  done  at  Cambridge,  and  in 
that  year  the  FIRST  PRESS  was  set  up  at  Boston.  The  entire  work  was  reprinted  at  London

"  This  collection  of  papers  was  published  by  Lieut.-Gov.  Hutchinson,  *  to  support  and 
elucidate  the  principal  facts  related  in  the  first  part  of  the  History  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  and 
may  serve  as  an  appendix  to  it. '  *  The  author  of  that  History  was  possessed  of  many  other 
ancient  and  very  curious  original  papers,  which  are  irrecoverably  lost  by  an  unfortunate  event 
sufficiently  known. '  (This  alludes  to  the  destruction  of  his  papers  by  a  mob,  at  the  time 
of  the  Riots  in  Boston  on  account  of  the  Stamp  Act,  in  1765.)  " —  Rich.

way  back  to  Boston,  it  is  supposed  through  Dr.  Franklin,  and  brought  matters  to  a  crisis 
there.  Nothing  except  the  "  Tea  Party  "  ever  created  a  greater  political  sensation  in  Boston,

Mr.  Temple  was  accused  of  having  surreptitiously  obtained  the  letters  of  Governor  Hutch- 
inson  and  Lieutenant-Governor  Oliver,  from  Mr.  Whately,  which  produced  the  duel  to 
which  this  pamphlet  relates.  The  letters  in  question  were  procured  by  Dr.  Franklin.  See

scribed  by  himself  in.  a  letter,  which  accompanies  the  set,  and  from  which  the  following  is  an 
extract. 

"  I  have  never  felt  so  great  a  responsibility  in  binding  a  set  of  books  before.  The  ma 
terial,  consisting  of  so  large  a  number  of  engravings  and  letters,  of  every  size  and  shape,  re 
quiring  strength  and  flexibility  alike,  and  their  correct  arrangement,  was  of  itself  sufficient, 
but  to  forward  true,  and  handsomely  finish  twelve  volumes,  so  that  either  one  may  be  taken 
as  a  sample  of  the  rest,  is  an  effort  not  easily  accomplished  in  the  art  of  bookbinding.  In 
all  these  particulars  I  think  I  have  never  been  more  successful.  In  the  minute  correctness 
of  the  finishing  I  will  challenge  the  world  to  produce  so  many  volumes  so  exact  and  so  per 
fect  in  their  ornamentation.  Mr.  Gibson  has  been  steadily  employed  on  them  since  July 
loth,  to  December  ist,  and  is  unequalled  as  an  exact  finisher  and  designer.  The  exact 
amount  of  wages  paid  this  workman  was  $502.97. —  I  may  add  that  no  workman  ever 
worked  more  faithfully,  and  the  exactness  of  so  large  a  piece  of  work  is  a  marvel  of  modern 
patience,  no  finisher  or  expert  could  detect  which  volume  was  done  first  or  last.  Aside  from 
the  binding  you  have  the  most  exquisitely  illustrated  set  of  books  that  ever  went  through  my 
hands,  the  book  is  worthy  of  the  binding,  and  I  shall  feel  happy  to  hear  you  say  the  binding 
is  worthy  of  the  book." 

Independent  of  the  one  hundred  and  two  India  proof  plates  which  form  a  part  of  the  ori 
ginal  work,  many  of  which  are  genuine  unlettered  first  proofs  obtained  directly  from  MR.

HALPIN  from  the  picture  by  MARTIN,  and  a  RUBRICATED  TITLE  PAGE  printed  by  MR.  MUN- 
SELL  expressly  for  the  volume. 

The  "  CHARACTER  AND  PORTRAITS,"  which  has  been  treated  as  an  independent  work  and 
entirely  irrespective  of  the  LIFE,  etc.,  contains  (in  addition  to  the  Twelve  Illustrations  pub 
lished  with  the  volume,  all  of  which  are  selected  India  proofs,  and  India  proofs  before  letters, ) 
FORTY-FOUR  inserted  ILLUSTRATIONS,  of  which  FORTY-ONE  are  PORTRAITS  of  WASHINGTON, 
many  of  them  VERY  RARE,  and  embracing  FIVE  UNLETTERED  INDIA  PR&OF  impressions  and 
ONE  PROOF  impression  from  PRIVATE  PLATES,  besides  FIFTEEN  other  UNLETTERED  INDIA 
PROOF  impressions  of  the  FIRST  CLASS. 

The  numerous  portraits  which  constitute  so  large  an  element  in  the  illustration  of  this 
unrivalled  set  are  uniformly  brilliant  impressions,  selected  with  the  most  fastidious  care,  and 
of  the  finest  description  throughout.  Many  of  them  were  imported  from  England,  France, 
and  Germany,  during  the  preparation  of  the  work,  especially  for  its  embellishment,  as  they 
could  not  then,  nor  could  they  noivy  be  obtained  in  this  Country,  and  many  large  and  ex 
pensive  engravings  were  reduced  in  order  to  obtain  a  single  good  head  of  some  notable 
personage  prominent  in  the  text.  They  represent  nearly  every  eminent  character  referred  to 
in  the  work,  and  are  thought  to  comprise  every  thing  that  is  rare,  curious,  or  fine  in  that 
connection,  including  TWENTY  BEAUTIFUL  PORTRAITS  of  FRANKLIN,  and  the  pair  of  Wash 
ington  and  Franklin,  painted  and  etched  by  CHARLES  WILSON  PEELE,  which  are  so  RARE 
that  fifty  dollars  have  been  paid  for  an  impression  of  the  Franklin  head  alone.  The  portraits  of 
Washington  were  selected  from  an  assemblage  of  upwards  of  four  hundred,  the  result  of 
many  years  of  discriminative  collecting  by  the  present  owner  of  the  work.  They  are  ALL 
in  fine  condition,  ALL  essentially  different,  comprehend  every  known  rare  or  curious  portrait 
of  that  illustrious  character,  and  their  duplication,  under  almost  any  circumstances,  may  well 
be  questioned. 

The  coloured  photographs  mostly  represent  persons  whose  portraits  have  not  been  pub 
licly  engraved.  They  were  executed  in  the  best  and  most  careful  manner  by  an  accomplished 
artist,  irrespective  of  cost,  exclusively  for  these  volumes.  The  Water  Colour  Drawings, 
which  chiefly  represent  the  various  Head-Quarters  of  Washington,  and  other  notable  locali 
ties,  were  mostly  taken  on  the  spot  expressly  for  this  copy  of  the  work. 

The  Autograph  letters,  notes,  and  documents  are  of  the  highest  interest,  and  of  much 
historical  value,  nearly  all  relating  and  pertinent  to  the  period,  circumstance,  or  event  re 
ferred  to  in  the  narrative.  Many  of  them  possess  no  inconsiderable  value  as  autographs 
merely,  such,  for  instance,  as  those  of  MRS.  WASHINGTON,  BENEDICT  ARNOLD,  ETHAN 
ALLEN,  COL.  PETER  GANSEVOORT,  GEN.  ROBERT  HOWE,  BARON  DE  KALB,  KOSCIUSZKO, 
DE  ESTAING,  LAFAYETTE  and  others. 

The  Inlaying  of  many  hundreds  of  the  engravings  was  intrusted  carte  blanche  to  MR. 
GEORGE  TRENT,  who  executed  the  work  in  the  most  artistic  and  satisfactory  manner. 

An  ardent  admirer  of  the  character  of  Gen.  Washington,  the  owner  of  these  volumes 
spent  the  leisure  often  years,  and  no  small  amount  of  money,  in  their  con  amore  preparation. 
They  are  in  the  FINEST  STATE  OF  PRESERVATION,  PERFECT  IN  EVERY  DETAIL,  the  TEXT  and 
PLATES,  without  any  exception,  PURE  and  SPOTLESS  from  beginning  to  end  throughout,  and 
we  do  not  hesitate  to  assert,  that,  take  them  all  in  all,  they  constitute  THE  FINEST,  MOST 
COMPLETE,  AND  MOST  DESIRABLE  ILLUSTRATED  LIFE  OF  WASHINGTON 
EVER  PRODUCED.

"  This  edition  of  Mr.  Jefferson's  celebrated  Notes  was  evidently  printed  in  Paris ;  but  as 
Mr.  Jefferson  did  not  reach  France  until  the  year  1784,  the  date  on  the  title  probably  is  not 
that  of  the  year  in  which  it  was  printed,  but  of  the  year  in  which  the  manuscript  was  com 
pleted.  A  copy  presented  to  M.  Malesherbe  had  the  following  note,  in  Mr.  Jefferson's 
handwriting.  '  Mr.  Jefferson  having  had  a  few  copies  of  these  notes  printed  to  present  to 
some  of  his  friends,  and  to  some  estimable  characters  beyond  that  line,  takes  the  liberty  of 
presenting  a  copy  to  M.  de  Malesherbe,  as  a  testimony  of  his  respect  to  his  character.  Un 
willing  to  expose  them  to  the  public  eye,  he  begs  the  favour  of  M.  de  M.  to  put  them  into 
the  hands  of  no  person  on  whose  care  and  fidelity  he  cannot  rely,  to  guard  them  against 
publication.'  " — Rich.

were  unquestionably  very  few,  rendering  it  one  of  the  SCARCEST  BOOKS  in  the  whole  Ameri

"  The  most  extraordinary  and  valuable  collection  ever  made  of  the  narratives  of  a  class  of 
men  who,  two  centuries  before  what  we  term  civilization,  had  prostrated  the  forests,  ex 
plored  the  vast  territories  covered  by  them,  recorded  the  peculiarities  of  the  natives,  and  in 
many  instances  bestowed  upon  them  the  blessings  of  Christianity.  These  relations,  for  many 
years  looked  upon  through  the  haze  of  sectarian  distrust,  were  lightly  esteemed  by  the  stu 
dents  of  American  history,  but  the  more  their  character  and  statements  were  investigated,  the 
more  important  and  valuable  they  appeared.  They  have  become  the  sources  from  which  we 
must  draw  almost  all  the  historic  material  of  New  York  and  Canada,  during  the  first  cen 
tury  and  a  half  of  their  exploration  by  Europeans.  It  was  to  perpetuate  these  monuments  of

"  This  tract  claims  its  importance  from  the  celebrity  of  its  author.  It  was  written  in  the 
sixty-sixth  year  of  his  age,  when  he  was  at  the  meridian  of  his  fame.  Mr.  Bancroft  in  his 
seventh  volume  describes  it  at  length  as  an  exemplification  of  the  tone  of  public  sentiment 
then  prevailing  in  England.  It  called  forth  several  replies,  each  of  which  is  aimed  at  point 
ing  out  the  fallacy  that  lurks  in  its  title  as  well  as  in  all  its  reasonings."  —  J.  R.  Bartlett.

able  answers  which  were  immediately  circulated  by  lovers  of  truth,  and  enemies  to  oppression, 
in  which  the  specious  arguments  of  the  ministerial  hirelings  were  at  once  confuted  and

The  object  of  the  author  seems  to  be  to  defend  the  "  Quebec  Bill,"  which  protects  the 
Canadians  in  the  exercise  of  the  Roman  Catholic  religion.  The  American  Colonies  classed 
this  Bill  among  their  grievances.  The  author  of  the  tract  in  question  shows  that  many  of 
the  colonies  extended  the  same  rights  to  Roman  Catholics  that  the  Quebec  Bill  did  to  the 
Canadians.

is  by  far  the  best.  That  of  Cavalier  seems  the  work  of  a  man  of  confused  brain  and  indiffe 
rent  memory.  Joutel's  account  is  of  a  very  different  character,  and  seems  to  be  the  work 
of  an  honest  and  intelligent  man.  Douay's  account  is  brief,  but  it  agrees  with  that  of  Joutel

"  The  Works  of  John  Kay  illustrate  an  interesting  epoch  in  the  history  of  the  Scottish 
Capital.  Throughout  the  greater  part  of  half  a  century  this  Artist  devoted  himself  with 
enthusiasm  to  his  novel  undertaking  ;  and  while  he  contributed  in  no  common  degree  to 
gratify  and  amuse  the  public  of  his  own  day,  his  graphic  productions  form  a  record  which 
cannot  fail  to  prove  acceptable  in  after  times,  indeed  this  curious  and  valuable  work  forms 
a  complete  record  of  the  public  characters  of  every  grade  and  kind,  including  many  distin 
guished  strangers,  who  made  a  figure  in  Edinburgh  for  nearly  half  a  century.  "

This  book  was  printed  at  Philadelphia,  in  1692,  by  William  Bradford,  for  which  he  was 
imprisoned,  upon  the  charge  of  "  uttering  and  spreading  a  malicious  and  seditious  paper." 
His  tools  and  type  were  taken  away  from  him,  and  this  was  the  beginning  of  the  persecution 
which  afterwards  drove  him,  with  his  printing,  from  Philadelphia  to  New  York,  in  1693.

In  a  note  to  the  only  copy  of  this  book  which  has  ever  been  sold  in  New  York  (in  1845) 
it  is  claimed  that  this  is  the  FIRST  BOOK  PRINTED  IN  NEW  YORK.  In  the  following  note,  its 
present  owner  has,  we  think,  settled  the  question  in  favour  of  Philadelphia. 

Doubts  have  been  entertained  whether  this  volume  was  really  printed  at  Philadelphia,  on 
the  ground  that  the  printer  having  suffered  imprisonment  for  printing  and  publishing  "  An 
Appeal"  would  not  likely  have  ventured  to  issue  a  work  of  this  character  there  and  thereby 
subject  himself  to  a  probable  recurrence  of  farther  difficulty  with  the  Authorities.  It  has 
been  surmised  that  the  tract  might  have  been  printed  at  New  York,  but  in  that  case  Brad 
ford  could  have  had  no  possible  reason  for  withholding  his  name  from  the  title  page.  On 
the  other  hand,  our  printer,  having  been  discharged  from  arrest  and  had  his  press  restored  to 
him  by  Gov.  Fletcher  on  the  sole  ground  of  his  having  been  imprisoned  for  "  a  religious 
difference,"  could  not  have  had  any  misgivings  whatever  respecting  the  publication  of  a  bare 
recital  of  the  trial  and  its  attendant  circumstances,  with  its  present  imprint.  Nor  was 
one  of  his  resolute  character,  smarting  under  what  he  conceived  to  be  an  outrage  and  a 
wrong,  likely  to  suspend  its  publication  during  the  five  months  which  elapsed  between  the 
termination  of  his  trial,  and  his  settlement  at  New  York. 

It  is  a  tract  of  the  greatest  possible  rarity ;  of  much  historical  interest  in  connexion  with 
the  earliest  efforts  to  establish  the  press  in  the  middle  colonies  j  and  gives  a  very  curious  and

This  rare  tract  is  wholly  occupied  by  Keith's  account  of  his  public  recantation  from,  and 
denouncement  of  Quakerism,  under  the  patronage,  and  protection  of  the  Rev.  Evan  Evans, 
the  then  Minister  of  Christ  Church,  and  Rector  of  Philadelphia.  The  proceedings  became 
so  turbulent,  that  Keith  and  his  newly  acquired  friends,  were  turned  out  of  the  Meeting-house 
in  which  they  assembled,  into  the  street  5  while  the  Quaker  mayor,  William  Shippen,  fear 
ing  a  breach  of  the  peace,  sent  "  the  constable  "  also  a  quaker,  "  with  his  constables  staff"  to 
disperse  them,  which  he  did  5  an  act  that  caused  much  animadversion  at  the  time.

of  Jefferson  could  not  bear  such  an  expose  and  therefore  it  was  doomed  to  destruction.

notice,  that  the  first  book  published  in  Philadelphia,  consists  partly  of  Lord  Bacon's  Essays. 
It  is  entitled  « The  Temple  of  Wisdom,'  printed  by  William  Bradford,  Philadelphia,  1688."

This  is  a  series  of  EIGHT  of  these  EXCEEDINGLY  RARE  productions  of  BRADFORD'S  PRESS, 
embracing  the  years  1731.  '32.  '33.  '37.  '38.  '39.  '42.  and  1743.,  uniform  in  size  and  bind 
ing,  and  in  the  finest  condition.  A  remarkable  instance  of  the  well  known  thrifty  habit  of 
the  printer  occurs  in  that  for  the  year  1738  ;  a  portion  thereof  being  printed  upon  paper  one 
side  of  which  having  previously  been  used,  the  printed  sides  were  pasted  face  to  face,  and 
the  sheets  of  the  Almanack  printed  on  the  blanks.  These  have  been  carefully  separated  by 
Mr.  Bedford,  and  exhibit  a  curious  example  of  printing-house  economy.  In  that  for  1739, 
in  May,  is  found  the  often  quoted  entry,  "the  printer  born  the  2Oth,  1663."  which,  not 
withstanding  the  inscription  (1660)  upon  his  tomb-stone,  is  now  generally  admitted  to  have 
been  the  date  of  his  birth.  It  would  be  very  difficult,  if  indeed  it  were  possible,  to  obtain 

a    MORE  DESIRABLE,    FINER,   Or  MORE    INTERESTING  SPECIMEN  of   BRADFORD'S  PRESS  than   these 
HANDSOME  LITTLE  VOLUMES  present.

"  This  very  curious  collection  of  poetical  hagiologies  is  selected  from  the  well-known 
Auchinleck  MS.  supposed  to  have  been  written  in  some  North  of  England  Monastery  about 
the  latter  end  of  the  xinth  or  commencement  of  the  xivth  century.  It  contains  the  following 
legends  :  —  Pope  Gregory  ;  St.  Margaret  ;  St.  Katherine  ;  Mary  Magdalen  ;  Joachim  and 
Anne.  ;  and  Our  Lady's  Mother.  Only  40  copies  were  printed,  under  the  editorial  care  of  W. 
Turnbull,  Esq. 

This  is  the  book  the  extraordinary  preface  to  which  has  been  so  often  quoted  in  reference 
to  the  case  of  Mr.  Turnbull,  both  in  the  House  of  Lords  and  Commons.  The  dedication 
is  To  the  '  memory  of  Peter  Ribadeneira  of  the  Society  of  Jesus.'  In  his  remarks  on  the 
state  of  the  MS.  the  editor  says,  *  It  has  been  sadly  mutilated  by  some  sacrilegious  hand  for 
the  sake  of  the  illuminations.  Would  to  God  that  for  his  pains  the  Vandal  had  been  served 
after  a  similar  fashion,  and  been  qualified  to  chant  shrill  treble  within  the  choir  of  the 
Sistine  chapel.'  "

"On  my  return  from  Congress,"  says  John  Adams,  "in  November,  1774,  I  found  the 
Massachusetts  Gazette  teeming  with  political  speculations,  and  Massachusettensis  shining 
like  to  the  moon  among  the  lesser  stars.  I  instantly  knew  him  to  be  my  friend  Sewell,  and 
was  told  he  excited  great  exultation  among  the  Tories,  and  many  gloomy  apprehensions 
among  the  Whigs." 

Notwithstanding  this  positive  statement  it  is  now  ascertained  that  these  letters  were  writ

It  is  of  the  highest  interest  in  connection  with  the  liberty  of  the  press  in  New  England. 
Checkley  was  prosecuted  at  the  Inferior  Court  in  Boston,  in  1724,  for  publishing  and 
selling  this  book,  which  was  called,  "a  false  and  scandalous  libel,  tending  to  draw  into  dis 
pute  his  present  Majesty's  title  to  the  Crown,  scandalizing  the  ministers  of  the  gospel,  es 
tablished  by  law  in  this  Province;  falsifying  the  Holy  Scriptures,  representing  the  Church 
of  Rome  as  the  present  Mother  Church;  and  tending  to  raise  divisions,  jealousies  and  ani 
mosities  among  his  Majesty's  loving  subjects  of  this  Province."  He  was  convicted  but 
appealed  to  the  Superior  Court,  where,  after  a  long  speech  in  his  own  defence,  the  jury 
brought  in  a  verdict  against  him.  The  Court  sentenced  him  to  pay  a  fine  of  £50  to  the 
King,  and  to  give  two  sureties  in  the  sum  of  <£ioo  for  his  good  behavior  for  six  months.

These  volumes,  the  most  elegant  of  their  class,  merit  a  passing  notice.  They  are  not 
mere  reprints  of  the  rare  and  valuable  works  whose  titles  they  bear,  as  each  work  has  a  co 
pious  introduction,  and  is  profusely  annotated  by  an  eminent  New  England  scholar.  The 
series  is  complete  so  far  as  published  ;  one  volume  of  an  intended  Virginia  series  is  included, 
that  being  the  only  one  issued  when  the  work  was  stopped. 

Their  Titles  are  briefly  as  follows  :

Each  article  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence  is  carefully  examined  and  every  assertion 
disputed.  In  a  short  "  review  "  at  the  end  of  the  volume,  the  author  thus  expresses  him 
self.  "  The  opinions  of  the  modern  Americans  on  Government,  like  those  of  their  good 
ancestors  on  witchcraft,  would  be  too  ridiculous  to  deserve  any  notice,  if  like  them,  too 
contemptible  and  extravagant  as  they  be,  they  had  not  led  to  the  most  serious  consequences."

The  EARLIEST  BOOK  known  to  have  been  printed  in  the  COLONY  OF  NEW  YORK  ;  the 
Laws  of  the  Colony  excepted,  which  were  printed  in  chapters,  from  time  to  time  as  passed,

THIS  IS  THE  ONLY  COPY  KNOWN  TO  EXIST. 

It  was  purchased  at  the  sale  of  E.  B.  Corwin's  Library,  and  although  it  cannot  claim  to 
be  the  earliest  exam  pie  of  printing  in  the  Colony  of  New  York,  it  is  certainly 

THE  FIRST  BOOK  PRINTED  IN  NEW  YORK 

that  has  come  under  our  notice,  or  of  which  we  have  any  account.  It  is  a  reprint  of  an 
English  work,  a  copy  of  which  was  described  in  one  of  Mr.  Thorpe's  catalogues  some  years

"  This  inestimable  book,  a  treasure  of  all  the  learning  respecting  the  East  and  West-Indies 
and  the  navigation  thither,  at  the  end  of  the  sixteenth  century,  has  been  in  the  highest 
esteem  for  nearly  a  century,  and  was  given  to  each  ship  sailing  to  India,  as  a  log-book. 
Hence  the  many  editions  (6  in  Dutch,  3  in  French,  and  I  in  Latin),  which  is  also  the  cause 
why  fine  copies,  especially  with  all  the  plates  and  maps,  are  so  very  rare.  A  large  part  of 
the  book  is  occupied  by  translations  of  original  Spanish  and  Portuguese  documents  on  geogra 
phy,  ethnography,  statistics,  navigation,  etc.,  and  in  these  respects  it  is  of  the  highest  im

"  The  author  engaged  in  the  service  of  the  Hudson's  Bay  Company  in  17  68,  and  journeyed 
as  a  fur  trader  among  the  Indians  of  Canada  for  nineteen  years.  His  knowledge  of  the 
character,  customs,  and  domestic  life  of  the  Indians  was  therefore  the  most  thorough  and 
intimate.  His  relations  are  characterized  by  candour  and  intelligence,  tinged  a  little  with  the 
disappointments,  which  most  of  the  servants  of  the  Company  who  have  written  accounts  of 
their  experiences,  seem  to  have  suffered  " — Field.

EXCEEDINGLY  SCARCE. 

It  is  a  mistake  to  suppose  that  this  excellent  book  is  superseded  by  that  recently  published 
in  two  small  volumes,  as  the  latter  omits  several  passages  in  the  text,  and  contains  merely  a 
selection  from  Chalmers's  most  valuable  and  interesting  notes.  The  author  was  Lion  King-at- 
Arms  under  James  V.  The  estimate  in  which  he  is  held  at  the  present  day,  after  the  lapse 
of  nearly  three  centuries  have  fallen  on  his  unknown  grave,  may  be  given  in  the  following 
lines  of  Scott: — 

"  Still  is  thy  name  of  high  account, 
And  still  thy  verse  has  charms  — 
Sir  David  Lindsay  of  the  Mount, 
Lord  Lyon  King-at-Arms."

regarding  the  Indian  wars  of  the  western  frontier,  from  the  actors  engaged  in  them.  His

"  Although  the  title  indicates  the  intention  to  bring  the  history  down  to  the  date  of  pub 
lication,  the  narrative  is  suspended  with  the  declaration  of  peace  in  1783.  Both  volumes 
are  largely  devoted  to  the  history  of  the  border  warfare  with  the  Creeks  and  Cherokee s. 
Numerous  incidents  relating  to  the  savages  of  these  nations,  and  their  sanguinary  attacks 
upon  the  frontiers,  with  sketches  of  their  chiefs,  and  of  the  loyalist  refugees  who  led  them, 
are  narrated.  These  were  derived  in  many  instances  directly  from  the  lips  of  some  of  the 
survivors  of  these  bloody  scenes,  from  manuscripts,  or  from  printed  documents,  no  longer

As  early  as  1824,  the  practice  was  begun  of  taking  portraits  of  the  principal  Indians  who 
came  to  Washington,  and  depositing  them  in  the  War  Department.  Under  the  manage 
ment  of  Col.  M'Kinney,  Superintendent  of  Indian  Affairs,  the  number  rapidly  increased,  till 
a  very  interesting  gallery  was  formed.  They  were  chiefly  painted  by  Mr.  King,  an  artist  of 
high  repute,  who  has  been  remarkably  successful  in  transferring  to  his  canvas  the  strong 
lineaments  of  the  Indian  countenance.  Col.  M'Kinney  conceived  the  plan  of  making  this 
rare  and  curious  collection  more  valuable  to  the  world  by  publishing  a  series  of  engraved  por 
traits  exactly  copied  and  colored  from  these  paintings.  With  each  portrait  is  connected  a 
biographical  sketch  of  the  individual  whom  it  is  intended  to  represent,  interspersed  with 
anecdotes  and  narrations.  The  work  contains  also  a  historical  account  of  the  various  Indian 
tribes  within  the  borders  of  the  United  States.

"  Martyr  possessed  eminent  ability  and  learning,  and  is  believed  to  be  the  first  writer  who 
noticed  in  his  works  the  discovery  of  America  by  his  countryman  Columbus ;  as  he  is  the 
first  who  published  a  treatise  descriptive  of  the  peculiarities  of  the  natives  of  the  New  World, 
the  first  decade  having  been  printed  in  1504,  and  the  first  three  decades  in  1516.  It  was 
not  until  1530,  that  the  complete  work  in  eight  decades  was  printed.  Eden  translated  the 
first  edition  of  three  decades,  and  printed  it  with  some  matters  copied  from  Oviedo  and  other 
authors,  in  1555.  Willes  followed  his  example,  and  produced  the  three  decades  with  part 
of  the  fourth,  and  some  additional  material  drawn  from  several  historians.  The  first  com 
plete  English  edition  was  printed  in  1597." — Field.

Major  Mason  was  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Dorchester,  in  1630.  From  that  place  he 
removed  about  the  year  1635  and  assisted  in  laying  the  foundation  of  a  new  colony.  After 
the  Pequot  War,  in  which  he  took  a  prominent  part,  he  was  appointed  by  the  Governor  of 
Connecticut,  Major-General  of  all  their  forces,  which  office  he  continued  to  hold  tiU  his 
death.  He  was  elected  Deputy-Governor  of  the  Colony  in  1660,  which  place  he  held  for 
ten  years.  He  died  at  Norwich  in  1672  or  1673,  at  the  age  of  72.

u  In  this  singular  publication,  which  is  a  close  translation  of  the  Hebrew,  Dr.  Mather  has 
not  only  disregarded  the  modern  practice  of  breaking  the  lines,  whether  rhymed  or  not,  but 
he  has  run  out  (to  use  a  printer's  phrase)  the  whole  matter  ;  so  that  while  each  psalm  looks 
exactly  like  prose,  and  may  be  read  as  such,  it  is,  in  fact,  modulated  so  that  it  may  be  sung 
as  lyric  verse. 

The  learned  Doctor  says  that  in  the  *  twice  seven  versions  '  which  he  has  seen,  the  au 
thors  '  put  in  as  large  an  Heap  of  poor  Things,  which,  are  intirely  their  own,  —  meerly  for 
the  sake  of  preserving  the  Clink  of  the  Rhime  ;  Which  after  all  is  of  small  consequence  unto 
a  Generous  Poem;  and  of  none  at  all  unto  the  Melody  of  Singing." 

The  following  extract  from  the  xxiii.  Psalm  is  a  specimen  of  the  translation  and  arrange 
ment.  By  omitting  the  words  in  BLACK  LETTER  the  verse  is  adapted  to  short  metre. 
*  The  Director  of  the  Psalmody,  need  only  say.  Sing  with  the  3$lactt  2Utter,  or  sing  with 
out  the  Blacfe  ILetter,  and  the  tune  will  be  sufficiently  directed.

"Hereby  hangs  a  funny  tale.  About  the  year  1714,  Cotton  Mather  in  Boston  was 
dubbed  with  F.R.S.,  a  trinity  of  capitals  which  flattering  his  vanity  he  adopted  and  wore, 
though  somewhat  against  his  previous  teachings  in  regard  to  worldly  distinctions.  The  first 
of  his  383  books  that  came  out  after  the  receipt  of  this  polished  handle  bore  F.R.S.  after  his 
name,  much  to  the  astonishment  of  his  rivals,  and  amusement  of  his  fellow  citizens.  He 
immediately  wrote  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Royal  Society  thanking  him,  and  continued  through 
life  to  be  an  active  correspondent,  all  but  the  first  letter  being  still  preserved  by  the  Society. 
The  letter  of  thanks,  however,  for  some  reason  never  got  among  the  records,  but  eventually 
fell  among  autograph-mongers,  and  found  its  way  to  New  York.  Some,  in  the  Doctor's 
lifetime,  said  he  had  been  hoaxed,  and  never  was  really  elected,  while  others,  and  among 
them  his  son,  manfully  contended  that  he  was  really  one  of  the  Philosophers.  This  book 
was  written  during  the  controversy  to  show  that  he  was  both  competent  and  willing  to  be 
an  F.R.S.  To  this  day  the  question  is  not  settled  —  Was  Cotton  Mather  an  F.R.S.  ?  There 
is  nothing  in  the  Society's  records  to  show  it,  though  the  names  of  a  dozen  other  Americans 
are  recorded.  "  —  Stevens.

"  The  very  curious  history  of  this  memoir  deserves  attention  from  all  students  of  Ameri 
can  history.  At  the  surrender  of  Fort  Necessity  by  Washington,  his  Journal  of  the  Expe 
dition,  together  with  the  letters  of  Braddock  to  the  British  Ministry,  and  his  instructions  to 
Washington,  were  seized  by  the  French  victors.  They  were  immediately  transmitted 
to  France,  and  by  order  of  the  French  king,  printed  and  sent  to  every  court  of  Europe, 
as  indicating  the  aggressive  character  of  the  British.  From  evidence  drawn  from  these  docu-

ments,  they  charge  Washington  with  the  murder  of  Jumonville.  This  was  the  second 
publication  of  any  of  Washington's  writings,  and  the  first  notice  the  public  had  of  his 
Journal.  It  was  translated  and  printed  in  New  York,  in  1 757,  under  the  title  of  A  Memorial, 
etc.,  and  the  same  year  in  Dublin  under  the  title  of  Re-vieto  of  Military  Operations  in  N.  A., 
and  Journal  of  Major  Washington.  It  is  very  clear  from  the  French  relation  that  Jumon 
ville  was  approaching  Washington  on  an  embassy  of  peace,  but  that  Washington,  unwilling 
to  trust  him,  had  ordered  his  advance  to  be  fired  upon." —  Field.

In  the  preface  to  those  "  Minutes,"  it  is  stated  that  they  were  "  discovered  (on  the  late 
capture  of  New  York  by  the  British  troops)  among  the  papers  of  a  person  who  appears  to 
have  been  Secretary  to  the  Committee."  They  relate  to  a  conspiracy  against  Congress,  and 
particularly  against  Washington,  whom  the  conspirators  proposed  to  carry  off. 

"  A  Mr.  Matthews,"  says  the  Monthly  Re-view,  "  who  was  prominent  in  the  conspiracy, 
was  condemned  to  suffer  death,  but  Congress  resolved  to  postpone  the  execution  of  the  sen 
tence,  and  ordered  him  to  be  carried  into  Connecticut,  there  to  be  imprisoned  till  further 
orders." 

The  work  contains  some  curious  scandal  about  Washington,  and  Mary  Gibbons,  "  a  girl 
from  New  Jersey,  of  whom  General  Washington  was  very  fond,  and  whom  he  maintained 
genteelly  at  a  house  near  Mr.  Skinner's."

Small  octavo,  crushed  red  levant  morocco,  richly  paneled  and  gilt  back  and  sides,  broad  inside 
borders,  gilt  edges,  by  W.  MATTHEWS.  IN  THE  FINEST  STATE  OF  PRESERVATION. 

"  It  was  written  in  1380,  and  is  a  small  octavo  of  superior  execution.  It  contains  thirteen 
miniatures  of  grouped  figures,  one  of  which  represents  a  lady,  with  a  gaily  attired  knight, 
while  Death,  in  the  form  of  a  skeleton,  steals  up  behind,  and  transfixes  her  with  his  dart : 
designed,  doubtless,  to  represent  the  uncertainty  of  life.  The  costume  is  of  the  time  of 
Charles  V.  of  France,  and  seems  as  outre  to  us  as  our  fashions  would  have  appeared  then. 
The  large  letters  are  in  gold,  and  the  whole  profusely  ornamented." —  Rev.  Dr.  W.  Bacon

don't  heed  them,  it  was  the  custom  of  their  time  as  it  is  of  Highlanders  and  Hottentots  to

These  letters,  purporting  to  have  been  written  by  so  distinguished  a  man  as  the  Governor 
General  of  Canada,  the  last  of  them  but  a  few  days  before  the  fall  of  Quebec  and  the  death 
of  both  Generals  Montcalm  and  Wolfe,  have  attracted  great  interest,  while  their  genuine 
ness  has  been  suspected.  But  "  it  has  been  reserved,"  says  Mr.  Henry  Stevens  in  an  ex 
tended  note  on  the  subject,  "for  Mr.  Francis  Parkman,  the  historian,  in  1869,  to  settle 
almost  to  a  demonstration  that  the  Montcalm  letters  are  forgeries."

gilt  edges,  by  F.  BEDFORD.  BEAUTIFUL  COPY. 

A  book  of  such  EXTREME  RARITY  that  Mr.  Frederik  Muller  the  eminent  book 
seller  of  Amsterdam  remarks  "  Although  this  book  is  printed  in  my  native  place,  Amster 
dam,  /  have  never  seen  nor  beard  of  it  here"  We  know  of  ONLY  ONE  OTHER  COPY  in  the 
United  States.  It  is  interspersed  with  Poems  by  various  authors,  including  one  by  Ben 
Jonson  not  included  in  his  works. 

Its  author,  who  appears  to  have  possessed  a  jovial,  and  somewhat  roystering  temperament, 
found  himself  ill  associated  with  the  puritanical  founders  of  New  England.  Allen  says  of 


MOULTRIE.  293 

him  that,  "  he  fell  into  great  licentiousness,  and  became  the  lord  of  misrule  ;"  he  supplied 
the  Indians  with  arms,  that  they  might  hunt  for  him,  and  was  by  this  means,  perhaps,  an 
instrument  in  endangering  the  safety  of  the  colonists.  On  the  occasion  of  giving  to  Pason- 
agessit  the  name  of  Maremont,  under  his  auspices,  a  pine-tree  eighty  feet  in  height,  with 
buck's  horns  at  the  top,  was  planted  in  the  ground,  around  which  the  company  danced  with 
such  hilarity,  as  the  good  cheer  they  had  not  failed  to  provide  inspired  5  much  to  the  dis 
satisfaction  of  the  stricter  colonists,  by  whom  he  was  for  this  offence  sent  out  of  the  colony 
as  a  prisoner.  Mr.  Duyckinck  remarks,  that  although  the  book  professes  to  have  been 
printed  at  Amsterdam,  it  was  probably  executed  in  London.  Morton  returned  to  the  colo 
nies  after  its  appearance,  and  was  imprisoned  in  Boston  for  a  year,  ostensibly  on  account  of 
the  libel  it  promulgated  against  the  colonies.

"  In  this  purple  book  the  '  nephew  of  my  uncle  '  defends  and  upholds  negro  slavery  in 
America,  though  perhaps,  were  it  brought  nearer  home  to  his  own  business  and  bosom,  like 
many  other  philosophers,  he  would  have  sung  a  different  tune.  Lest  these  sentiments,  so 
repugnant  to  British  feeling,  might  give  to  the  book  a  baleful  influence,  a  neutralizing  ap 
pendage  by  another  hand  is  added,  combating  the  Prince's  facts,  inferences  and  opinions." —

Thomas  Prince  thus  speaks  of  this  work  :  "  In  1720  came  out  Mr.  Neal's  History  of 
New  England,  which  I  was  glad  to  see,  and  pleased  with  both  his  spirit,  style  and  method. 
And  though  he  has  fallen  into  many  mistakes  which  are  commonly  known  to  us,  some  of 
which  he  seems  to  derive  from  Mr.  Oldmixon's  New  England ;  ...  yet  considering  the  ma 
terials  this  worthy  writer  was  confined  to,  and  that  he  was  never  here  5  it  seems  to  me 
scarce  possible,  that  any  under  his  disadvantages  should  form  a  better.  In  comparing  him 
with  the  authors  from  whence  he  draws,  I  am  surprised  to  see  the  pains  he  has  taken  to  put 
the  materials  in  such  a  regular  order  :  And  to  me  it  seems  as  if  many  parts  of  his  work  can 
not  be  mended." —  Chronology  of  Neiv  England.  Pref.  p.  Hi.

we  think  is  an  error.  For  a  translation,  see  "  N.  Y.  Hist.  Soc.  Coll.,"  Second  Series,  Vol.

"  It  is  impossible,  in  a  small  space,  to  give  anything  like  an  adequate  idea  of  the  vast

celebrities  which  are  brought  forward,  not  merely  by  passing  anecdotes,  but  by  highly  valuable 
memoirs  and  sketches,  and  the  extensive  bibliographical  and  literary  matter  which  they  con 
tain,  render  them  one  of  the  most  permanently  interesting  collections  ever  published." 

"Having  perused,  with  inexpressible  delight,  sixteen  volumes  of  this  work,  (the  iyth  not

that  we  may  safely  conclude,  from  its  having  been  printed  in  Philadelphia,  that  the  congress

Mr.  Paine  was  no  admirer  of  Washington  and  thus  addresses  him  :  "  Elevated  to  the 
chair  of  the  Presidency,  you  assumed  the  merit  of  everything  to  yourself;  and  the  natural 
ingratitude  of  your  constitution  began  to  appear.  You  commenced  your  presidential  career 
by  encouraging  and  swallowing  the  grossest  adulation  ;  and  you  travelled  America  from  one 
end  to  the  other  to  put  yourself  in  the  way  of  receiving  it.  You  have  as  many  addresses  in 
your  chest  as  James  the  Second.  As  to  what  were  your  views,  for  you  are  not  great  enough 
to  have  ambition,  though  you  are  little  enough  to  have  vanity,  they  cannot  be  inferred  from 
expressions  of  your  own ;  but  the  partizans  of  your  politics  have  divulged  the  secret."  He 
also  attacks  the  military  skill  of  Washington.

"  The  charm  which  Mr.  Parkman's  books  assert  on  the  attention  of  every  reader,  is  not 
wholly  derived  from  the  pleasing  style  of  his  writing.  His  perfect  knowledge  of  Indian  life 
and  manners,  acquired  by  personal  experience,  and  his  exhaustion  of  the  literature  of  his 
subject,  as  it  is  found  in  printed  works,  unedited  manuscripts,  and  authenticated  tradition, 
give  new  interest  to  the  subjects  of  which  he  treats." —  Field.

"  The  narrative  of  Pattie's  expedition  and   captivity  has  more  than  the  ordinary  interest 

and  value,  which  attaches  to  the  stories  of  adventurers.     He  crossed  the  continent  of  Amer 

ica  on  a  route  which  his  party  were  the  first  to  pursue.     He  encountered  tribes  of  Indians 

who  then  saw  a  white  man  for  the  first  time,  and  his  narrative  has  the  merit  of  being  given

in  a  candid,  unexaggerated  style,  which  impresses  us  with  its  veracity.  The  story  of  the 
perilous  expedition,  the  frightful  extremities  to  which  his  party  were  reduced,  the  fights 
with  the  savages,  and  his  final  capture,  are  all  narrated  with  spirit  and  candor."  —  Field.

TON'S  COFFIN,  from  the  old  vault  at  Mount  Vernon,  duly  authenticated,  is  attached  to  the 
inside  of  the  under  cover. 

This  very  interesting  collection,  relating,  as  it  does,  entirely  to  a  single  important  histo 
rical  object,  and  forming  a  galaxy  of  the  autographs  of  the  most  illustrious  of  the  great  and 
good  men  of  the  period  of  the  Revolution,  possesses  a  value  far  beyond  that  of  a  mere  col 
lection  of  autograph  letters,  inasmuch  as  many  of  the  writers  minutely  describe  the  counte 
nance,  features,  person  and  character  of  Washington ;  the  circumstances  under  which  they 
met  him  ;  some  in  the  field  ;  others  under  the  hospitable  roof  of  Mount  Vernon;  and  relate 
interesting  reminiscences  of  the  events  which  brought  them  into  his  presence.  The  volume 
was  arranged  by  the  eminent  artist  himself,  and  accompanied  him  during  his  lecturing  tours 
throughout  the  United  States.  It  consequently  exhibits  some  exterior  evidence  of  use,  al 
though  in  most  excellent  preservation.

"  This  journal  is  the  sequel  to  that  printed  by  Charles  Thompson,  Secretary  to  the  Con 
tinental  Congress,  in  his  Enquiry  into  the  Causes  of  the  Alienation  of  the  Delaware  and  Sbatv- 
anese  Tribe  of  Indians.  It  exhibits  in  a  still  stronger  light  the  intrepidity  and  self-devotion 
of  this  noble  Quaker.  Since  the  days  of  Regulus  no  more  perilous  mission  has  been  under 
taken  by  a  single  man.  Braddock  had  been  defeated,  and  eight  hundred  white  soldiers 
slain.  Forbes  was  preparing  for  his  invasion  of  the  Indian  territory.  Pitiless  massacre 
reigned  on  both  sides.  Rewards  that  would  have  tempted  all  the  fierce  borderers  a  year 
before,  were  offered  in  vain,  until  Christian  Post,  rejecting  all  offers  of  compensation,  and 
solely  for  peace  and  mercy's  sake,  set  out  upon  his  mission.  Every  step  through  the 
wilderness,  the  most  appalling  dangers  thickened  around  him.  A  hundred  times  were 
savage  arms  raised  to  destroy  him,  and  a  hundred  times  by  little  less  than  miracles,  the 
blows  were  averted." — Field.

The  various  editions  of  this  excellent  work  are  a  good  index  of  the  progress  of  knowledge 
in  England  of  the  affairs  of  the  Colonies.     Gov.  Pownall's  experience  in  America,  and  his 
position  after  his  return,  enabled  him  to  speak  with  authority.

in  the  handwriting  of  the  author. 

A  republication  of  Evans's  map  and  analysis  of  1755,  with  improvements  and  additions. 
Governor  Pownall  says  that  "  a  pirated  copy  of  Evans's  map,  was  in  a  most  audacious  man 
ner,  published  by  Jeffreys,  and  falsely  sold  as  Evans's  map  improved,  by  which  that  very 
laborious  and  ingenious,  but  poor  man,  was  deprived  of  the  benefit  of  his  work.  Owing  to 
the  ignorance  of  the  engraver  it  can  scarcely  be  called  a  copy,  and,  as  respects  the  face  of 
the  country,  might  as  well  be  a  map  of  the  moon."

A  presentation  set  to  Baron  Albenslabor,  the  manuscript  inscription  to  whom,  occupies 
nearly  an  entire  page.  The  "Memorial  to  the  Sovereigns  of  Europe,"  which  was  published 
anonymously,  in  this  copy  has  Mr.  Pownall's  autograph  signature  at  the  end  of  the  text. 

The  Memorial  to  the  Sovereigns  of  Europe  which  presupposes  the  independence  of  America, 
the  editor  says  "  was  written  by  a  gentleman  lately  deceased,  who,  from  some  misfor 
tune  in  his  personal  relations,  left  England  and  took  up  his  residence  in  the  Azores."  "  It 
is  written,"  says  the  Monthly  Review,  "  with  so  much  clearness  of  information  and  strength 
of  argument,  that  it  is  probably  the  work  of  some  eminent  master,  who  chooses  to  conceal 
himself  behind  a  peculiar  style  and  a  fictitious  tale."

"  In  the  reproduction  of  this  quaint  volume  every  'word,  every  letter,  and  indeed  every 
point  has  been  sedulously  collated  with  a  perfect  impression  of  the  original  work  struck  at 
Cambridge  in  the  year  1640.  Indeed,  so  exact  and  faithful  has  the  compositor  been  in  fol 
lowing  the  original  copy,  that  the  bad  spacing,  omission  of  spaces,  irregular  justification,  bad 
divisions,  broken  type,  letters  inverted,  mixed  lower-case  letters  with  italics,  and  typographi 
cal  errors  are  strictly  reproductions  of  the  printer's  errors  of  the  olden  time." —  Preface.

Concerning  the  '*  Thoughts,"  Mr.  Stevens  remarks,  "  this  is  a  well  written  and  fair 
statement  of  the  case  as  to  whether  or  not  the  Americans  were  aiming  at  Independence  from 
1754,  and  how  the  difficulty  may  now  be  settled  without  a  separation.  Dr.  Franklin's 
celebrated  letters  to  Gov.  Shirley,  afterwards  in  1766  printed  in  London,  are  given  in  the

It  is  by  far  the  most  desirable  copy  we  have  ever  met  with,  being  absolutely  free  from  any 
taint  whatever  of  the  mildew  which  disfigures  and  endangers  very  many  copies,  and  is  per

at  £100. 

Purchas  says  in  his  Preface  that  he  has  incorporated  the  substance  of  more  than  twelve 
hundred  writers  of  Voyages  and  Travels.  "His  work,"  says  Granger,  in  his  Biogr.  Hist. 
"  is  not  only  valuable  for  the  various  instruction  and  amusement  contained  in  it,  but  is  also 
very  estimable  on  a  national,  and  I  may  add,  a  religious  account." 

"  We  owe  to  the  zeal  and  vast  erudition  of  this  laborious  man,  one  of  the  most  celebrated 
collections  of  Voyages  which  has  ever  appeared,  valuable  alike  for  the  abundance  of  its 
materials  and  its  importance  in  the  history  of  Early  Discoveries,  especially  those  of  the  Eng 
lish." —  Biographic  Uni'versel/e.

These  ORIGINAL  EDITIONS  are  two  of  the  rarest  pieces  in  Pennsylvania  literature.  The 
occasion  of  the  dispute  was  the  assertion,  by  Gen.  Cadwallader,  that  in  Dec.,  1776,  before 
the  battle  of  Trenton,  Gen.  Reed  was  so  much  depressed  by  the  sad  state  of  American  affairs 
as  to  meditate  withdrawing  from  the  service.  This  assertion  Gen.  Reed  denies,  and  Gen. 
Cadwallader  defends,  in  very  heated  and  bitter  language.  The  dispute  was  revived  on  the 
publication  of  the  ninth  volume  of  Mr.  Bancroft's  history.

Narrative  of  the  Principal  Events  of  the  Siege.    1763-65.] 

Sm.  4/0,  213  pages.    Original  binding,  in  a  morocco  pull-off  case,  lettered.    IN  FINE  CONDITION, 

and  PERFECT  PRESERVATION. 

From  this  Precious  Historical  Manuscript  written  by  the  hand  of  the  redoubtable  Major 
himself,  the  Fourth  Volume  of  "  MUNSELL'S  HISTORICAL  SERIES  "  was  prepared  under  the 
editorial  care  of  Dr.  Hough,  who  thus  describes  it.  "  The  Diary  printed  in  the  following 
Pages,  we  believe  to  be  now  for  the  first  time  published,  and  although  its  Author  is  unknown, 
we  have  Reason  to  infer  from  several  Allusions  to  himself,  and  References  to  other  Records 
kept  along  with  it,  that  he  was  the  Secretary  of  the  Commandant,  and  that  he  was  fully  in 
his  Confidence.  The  Manuscript  is  all  in  one  Hand-writing,  and  is  written  upon  about  half 
a  dozen  Sizes  of  Paper,  which  were  evidently  in  loose  Sheets  at  the  Time,  and  have  since 
been  bound  in  one  Volume.  It  was  purchased  from  a  Book-seller  in  London,  and  its  former 
Owner  had  begun  to  print  it;  but  finding,  after  getting  through  thirty-two  pages,  that  the 
Sheets  had  not  been  bound  in  Chronological  order,  the  Enterprize  was  abandoned,  until  it 
came  into  the  Hands  of  the  Publisher  of  the  present  Series.  It  bears  conclusive  Evidence  of 
Authenticity,  and  is  believed  to  offer  new  and  valuable  Contributions  to  our  Knowledge  of 
the  Events  to  which  it  relates."  The  thirty-two  pages  alluded  to  as  having  been  printed  by 
a  former  owner  accompany  the  Manuscript. 

The  Journals  of  Major  Rogers  published  in  1765,  terminate  with  February,  1761,  and 
contain  no  allusion  to  the  events  recorded  in  this  manuscript.  There  is,  therefore,  but  little 
doubt  that  it  was  designed,  that  this  diary  should  form  a  portion,  if  not  the  whole,  of  the 
Continuation  to  which  Major  Rogers  alludes  in  the  Advertisement  at  the  end  of  his  Journals 
above  referred  to.

"  The  journals  of  this  celebrated  partisan  chief  afford  us  many  interesting  details  of  border 
warfare,  in  the  French  and  Indian  War,  which  ended  seventeen  years  before  the  Revolution. 
It  was  while  associated  with  Rogers  that  General  Putnam  is  said  to  have  experienced  those 
wonderful  adventures,  with  the  relation  of  which  our  youthful  nerves  have  so  often  thrilled. 
It  is  however  remarkable,  that  Major  Rogers  does  not  even  mention  the  name  of  Putnam. 
The  last  page  (237),  is  unnumbered  and  entitled,  'Advertisement.'  It  announces  a  con 
tinuation,  or  second  part  of  the  journal,  which  never  appeared,  as  the  subscriptions  of  a 
guinea  a  copy  were  probably  not  sufficiently  numerous." —  Field.

the  frontispiece,  the  dedication  to  John  Ellis,  and  3  full  page  maps.  Crushed  blue  levant  mo 
rocco,  edges  gilt  on  carmine,  by  F.  BEDFORD.  A  LARGE,  FINE  and  PERFECT  COPY 
of  this  EXCESSIVELY  RARE  BOOK,  -with  many  rough  leaves. 

This  extremely  rare  work  is  so  seldom  found  in  any  other  than  a  fragmentary  condition, 
that  we  are  unable  to  refer  to  the  full  collation  of  any  complete  copy.  No  copy  has  ever 
been  found  with  either  of  the  whole  sheet  Maps,  and  all  are  more  or  less  deficient  in  the 
number  of  Plates  referred  to  in  the  title  page.  From  the  arrangement  and  tenor  of  the  title, 
as  well  as  from  the  sense  of  the  "  advertisement,"  at  the  end  of  the  volume,  we  are  clearly 
of  opinion,  that  it  was  the  author's  design  to  distribute  the  "twelve  copper  plates,  And 
Two  whole  Sheet  Maps  "  throughout  the  two  volumes  into  which  he  intended  to  divide  the 
work  ;  hence  we  do  not  hesitate  to  pronounce  the  present  a  perfect  copy  as  well  as  the  finest 
one  within  our  knowledge. 

The  work  was  issued  in  the  following  year  with  an  abridged  title,  less  preliminary  matter, 
and  without  the  Appendix,  but  the  text  in  the  body  of  the  work  is  the  same  in  both  edi 
tions.  In  the  "  Advertisement,"  above  referred  to,  the  author  announces  his  intention  to 
issue  a  second  volume,  to  be  accompanied  by  maps,  adding,  that  "  it  is  now  in  the  press." 
It  does  not  appear,  however,  that  it  ever  was  published.  The  plates  are  curious  specimens 
of  early  Continental  engraving ;  they  were  drawn  and  etched  by  Romans  himself,  who 
throughout  the  book  uses  a  small  i  for  the  personal  pronoun. 

u  This  rare  book  contains  an  engraved  dedication  to  Ellis  the  Naturalist,  and  six  other 
plates  etched  by  the  author.  Another  copy  with  the  date  1775,  and  called  Volume  I.,  has 
an  appendix  of  89  pages  and  3  Maps." — Rich.  i.  467.

Apparently  privately  printed.  "  In  July  last  the  following  letter  was  transmitted  to  the 
person  to  whom  it  is  addressed,  and  a  few  weeks  ago  it  was  returned  under  cover,  without  a 
syllable  in  reply.  As  children  that  are  crammed  with  confectionary,  have  no  relish  for 
plain  and  wholesome  food  j  so  men  in  power,  who  are  seldom  addressed  but  in  the  sweet 
tones  of  adulation,  are  apt  to  be  disgusted  with  the  plain  and  salutary  language  of  truth.  To 
offend  was  not  the  intention  of  the  writer ;  yet  the  president  has  evidently  been  irritated ; 
this  however  is  not  a  bad  symptom,  for  irritation  causelessly  excited,  will  frequently  subside 
into  shame,  and  to  use  the  language  of  the  moralist  *  where  there  is  yet  shame,  there  may 
in  time  be  virtue.'  Liverpool,  February  aoth,  1797." — Extract.

"  No  one  who  has  visited  Venice  can  read  this  book  without  having  a  richer  glow  thrown 
over  his  remembrances  of  that  city  ;  and  for  those  who  have  not,  Mr.  Ruskin  paints  it  with 
a  firmness  of  outline  and  vividness  of  colouring  that  will  bring  it  before  the  imagination  with 
the  force  of  reality.  His  descriptions  are  the  perfection  of  word-painting,  and  there  is  this 
additional  charm  in  them,  that  the  intellect  and  heart  are  sure  to  be  gratified  by  profound 
thoughts  and  noble  sentiments." —  Literary  Gazette.

Complete  sets  of  the  earliest  editions,  of  the  Great  Art  Works  of  John  Ruskin  have  become 
almost  unattainable,  as  several  of  the  volumes  have  long  been  out  of  print.  The  present  one

numerous  beautiful  illustrations. 

"  To  Mr.  Ruskin  art  has  a  deep  moral  and  religious  significance,  both  in  its  uses  and  in 
its  connection  with  the  character  and  condition  of  the  artist.  Every  touch  is,  for  him,  the 
thought  of  a  human  intellect  and  the  voice  of  a  human  heart.  He  seems  to  kiss  the  very 
footsteps  of  that  art  of  which  he  is  the  great  expositor." —  London  Times.

Mr.  Field  remarks  :  "  the  mystery  which  surrounded  the  authorship,  history,  and  origin  of 
this  very  rare  volume,  has  been  slowly  dispelled  by  successive  fragments  of  information.  So 
few  copies  have  survived  the  holocaust  to  which  it  was  devoted,  that  its  very  existence  was 
unknown  to  the  most  zealous  collectors  of  Indian  and  Vermont  history.  Published  anony 
mously,  without  preface,  it  was  known  to  but  few  that  the  author  was  the  Rev.  Daniel 
Clark  Sanders,  President  of  the  University  of  Vermont  Immediately  after  its  appearance, 
some  person,  evidently  a  personal  enemy  of  the  author,  published  an  acrimonious  critique  upon 
the  book,  in  the  Liberal  and  Philosophical  Repository.  The  animus  of  the  critic  was  evi 
denced,  not  only  by  the  bitterness  of  his  language,  but  by  his  ignorance  of  the  subject  of 
Indian  wars,  being  more  profound  than  that  of  the  author  of  the  book  he  scored.  Such  was 
the  effect  of  the  article  upon  either  Mr.  Sanders,  or  the  publishers,  that  the  work  was 
suppressed.  But  very  few  copies  could  have  escaped  the  hands  that  were  now  as  zealous  to 
destroy,  as  they  had  lately  been  to  create.  In  fact,  so  nearly  complete  was  the  destruction 
of  the  book,  that  it  was  forgotten  by  those  who  professed  to  know  most  of  its  author,  his 
biographers.  Neither  Thompson,  Williams,  nor  Hemmenway,  who  published  memoirs  of 
Sanders  mention  his  authorship  of  the  Indian  wars."

"  It  is  well  known  that,  during  our  Revolutionary  War,  a  very  large  part,  if  not  an 
actual  majority,  of  the  American  people  remained  more  or  less  attached  to  the  cause  of  the 
Crown.  And  considering  how  much  of  the  education  and  intelligence  of  the  community 
was  included  in  their  ranks,  it  will  not  be  surprising  to  find  that  the  Loyalists  of  that  day 
were  far  from  remiss  in  their  efforts  to  vindicate  their  own  conduct,  or  to  attack  that  of  their 
opponents.  But  as  from  the  outset,  with  very  rare  exceptions,  the  press  over  all  the  conti 
nent  was  in  the  hands  of  the  Whigs,  they  were  thus  shut  out  for  the  time  from  the  popular 
ear ;  and  since  the  close  of  the  struggle,  their  literary  productions  have  sunk  into  oblivion. 
Nevertheless,  much  of  the  Loyalist  poetry  of  that  season  possesses  a  degree  of  vigor  and  of 
real  merit  worthy  of  a  better  cause  and  a  better  fate ;  and  Mr.  Sargent  has  rendered  an  ac 
ceptable  service  in  rescuing  it  from  neglect."

"  This  great  work  is  a  complete  Thesaurus  — an  overflowing  treasury  of  knowledge,  respect 
ing  the  Aborigines  of  America.  It  embraces  their  history,  ethnography,  antiquities,  and 
languages  j  their  ancient  and  modern  geography  ;  their  manners  and  customs,  religion  and 
superstitions ;  their  agriculture,  commerce,  and  trade  ;  their  ornamental  arts,  and  their  phy 
sical  and  intellectual  peculiarities.  All  these  subjects  are  treated,  not  in  a  general  and 
summary  manner,  but  in  detail,  each  topic  being  patiently  and  thoroughly  discussed  and 
exhausted ;  the  work,  although  mainly  executed  by  the  author's  own  hand,  having  received 
the  contributions  of  many  sa-vans  thoroughly  conversant  with  particular  subjects  embraced 
in  its  pages.  The  result  is  such  a  work  as  could  have  been  produced  in  no  other  way.  It 
is  the  most  complete  and  thorough  collection  of  treatises  relating  to  the  Indians,  and  com 
prises  also  the  only  general  history  of  the  aboriginal  race,  which  has  ever  been  published. 
It  is  a  Library  of  Indian  history  and  ethnography,  and  embraces  within  itself  the  substance 
of  all  that  is  known  concerning  the  tribes  as  tribes,  and  the  race  as  a  race.  To  the  scholar, 
the  historian,  the  statesman,  and  the  philologist,  such  a  work  is  indispensable.  No  public 
or  well  appointed  private  library  can  be  considered  complete  without  it ;  and  the  general 
reader  who  wishes  for  satisfactory  and  reliable  information  about  the  Indians  as  they  are  at 
the  present  time,  or  as  they  have  been  at  any  previous  period  since  America  was  discovered, 
must  have  recourse  to  these  volumes.  The  illustrations  of  the  Archives  are  executed  in  the 
most  complete  and  finished  style,  literally  *  without  regard  to  expense  5'  and,  as  a  whole, 
they  comprise  one  of  the  proudest  monuments  of  American  art."

This  very  valuable  catalogue  was  compiled  by  the  late  Mr.  Cochrane,  of  the  London

Walter  Scott,  where  he  refers  to,  or  quotes,  the  various  books  in  the  library. 

"  The  nature  and  extent  of  the  collection  throw  light  in  a  remarkable  manner  on  the 
history  of  its  founder.  The  reader  has  before  him  a  faithful  inventory  of  the  materials  with 
which  the  National  Poet  and  Novelist  had  stored  his  mind  before  he  began  his  public  career, 
and  of  the  zeal  with  which  he  watched  the  progress  of  literary  enterprise  down  to  the  close 
of  his  life."

the  people  of  Scotland,  during  the  reigns  of  Charles  I.  and  his  descendants.

"  This  well  written  narrative,  purporting  to  be  only  the  biography  of  a  captive  among  the 
Senecas,  is  really  the  best  resume  we  have  of  incidents  in  the  history  and  common  life  of  the 
Seneca  Indians.  Its  truthfulness  is  vouched  for  by  such  veracious  testimony  as  that  of  Eli 
Parker,  an  educated  chief  of  that  nation,  though  its  authenticity  can  scarcely  have  greater 
corroboration  than  the  fact  that  Mr.  Seaver  received  almost  the  whole  mass  of  incidents 
narrated  in  his  book,  directly  from  the  lips  of  the  aged  captive  herself.  A  portion  of  the 
book  which  future  ethnologists  will  highly  prize,  is  contained  on  pp.  30010  312,  where  the 
Indian  names  of  nearly  400  localities,  in  the  State  of  New  York,  are  given,  with  their

increasing  in  value.  Mr.  Daniel's  copy  produced  £716  2s.,  and  the  competition,  whenever 
a  copy  occurs,  is  so  strong,  that,  probably,  what  our  ancestors  deemed  dear  at  £100,  will  be

contains  FIVE  HUNDRED  AND  THIRTY  inserted  PORTRAITS,  SUBJECTS  AND  VIEWS  of  the  finest 
description;  nearly  ALL  of  which  are  PROOFS,  INDIA  PROOFS,  and  INDIA  PROOFS  BEFORE 
LETTERS  5  forming  a  perfect  galaxy  of  the  beautiful  in  art.  The  plates  from  the  HARDING 
SERIES  are  a  selection  from  a  complete  LARGE  PAPER  PROOF  SET,  the  BEST  of  which  only 
were  taken.  Those  of  the  "  Heroines  of  Shakspere,"  are  also  GENUINE  PROOFS,  imported 
expressly  for  use  in  this  set.  RUBRICATED  TITLE  PAGES  were  printed  specially  for  the  Bio 
graphy,  with  a  beautifully  ENGRAVED  INDIA  PROOF  VIGNETTE  mounted  in  each. 

These  elegant  volumes,  together  with  "  CLARKE'S  CONCORDANCE,"  and  FAIRHOLT'S  HOME," 
(which  follow),  all  uniformly  bound,  and  ranging  in  size,  form  a  truly  MAGNIFICENT 
and  probably  UNRIVALLED  SET  of  the  works  of  him  "  who  was  not  of  an  age,  but  for 
all  time." 

"  In  this  Splendid  Edition  the  text  is  derived  from  a  most  laborious  and  careful  collation 
of  the  early  editions,  with  all  that  the  best  and  most  extensive  modern  Shaksperian  criticism 
has  discovered.  The  notes  are  copious  and  thoroughly  elucidatory  of  obscure  words  and 
phrases,  and  of  the  sources  of  the  plajs,  the  historical  characters,  &c.  The  engravings  are 
mostly  from  actual  things,  and  are  not  mere  fancy  pictures.  The  biography  of  Shakspere  is 
the  best  yet  written  of  him,  and  the  studies  of  the  characters  of  the  plays  and  the  accounts 
of  the  plots  are  written  with  feeling  as  well  as  with  critical  acumen."

"  After  such  conscientious  examination  of  his  work  as  the  importance  of  it  demands  ; 
after  a  painful  comparison,  note  by  note,  and  reading  by  reading,  of  his  edition  with  those  of 
Messrs.  Knight,  Collier,  and  Dyce,  our  opinion  of  his  ability  and  fitness  for  his  task  has 
been  heightened  and  confirmed.  Not  that  we  always  agree  with  him  ; —  but  Mr.  White 
has  generally  shown  so  just  a  discrimination,  that  there  are  few  instances  where  we  dissent. 
We  have  subjected  his  .volumes  to  a  laborious  examination,  such  as  few  books  receive,  be 
cause  the  text  of  Shakespeare  is  a  matter  of  common  and  great  concern,  and  they  have  borne 
the  trial,  except  in  a  few  impertinent  particulars,  admirably.  Mr.  Dyce  and  Mr.  Singer  are 
only  dry  commonplace-books  of  illustrative  quotations  ;  Mr.  Collier  has  not  wholly  reco 
vered  from  his  *  corr.  fo.'  madness  ;  Mr.  Knight  (with  many  eminent  advantages  as  an 
editor)  is  too  diffuse ;  and  we  repeat  our  honest  persuasion,  that  Mr.  White  has  thus  far 
given  us  the  best  extant  text,  while  the  fullness  of  his  notes  gives  his  edition  almost  the 
value  of  a  variorum  $  and  we  think  that  a  careful  collation  justifies  us  in  saying  that  in  acute 
discrimination  of  aesthetic  shades  of  expression,  and  often  of  textual  niceties,  Mr.  White  is 
superior  to  any  previous  editor." —  J.  R.  Lowell.

of  a  grant  for  a  public  funeral  for  Lady  Cornbury,  declined,  but  at  the  same  time  assured

Dr.  Shebbeare 's  Essay  was  severely  censured  by  the  Monthly  Review  ;  it  is  alleged  by  the 
reviewer  that  beside  the  objectionable  character  of  his  tenets,  and  his   reasoning  on  them,

FINE    COPY. 

Two  histories  were  published  of  this  voyage.  This  was  intended  by  the  author  as  a  vin 
dication  of  his  conduct,  he  having  been  accused  of  piracy  and  embezzlement.  The  other 
was  written  by  William  Betagh  who  was  roughly  treated  in  Shelvocke's  narrative,  and,  in 
return,  wrote  with  the  design  of  exposing  Shelvocke. 

The  author's  relation  of  the  discovery  of  gold  is  remarkable.  "  The  soil  about  Puerto 
Seguro  (and  very  likely  in  most  parts  of  the  valleys),  is  a  rich  black  mould,  which,  as  you 
turn  it  up  fresh  to  the  sun,  appears  as  if  intermingled  with  gold  dust,  some  of  which  we  en 
deavoured  to  wash  and  purify  from  the  dust ;  but  though  we  were  a  little  prejudiced  against 
the  thoughts  that  it  could  be  possible  that  this  metal  should  be  so  promiscuously  and  univer 
sally  mingled  with  common  earth,  yet  we  endeavoured  to  cleanse  and  wash  the  earth  from 
some  of  it,  and  the  more  we  did,  the  more  it  appeared  like  gold  ;  but  in  order  to  be  further 
satisfied,  I  brought  away  some  of  it  which  we  lost  in  our  confusions  in  China." —  Pages

includes  a  long  letter  from  Eliot,  the  Apostle  of  the  Indians,  who  is  described  as  already  so 
skilled  in  the  Indian  tongue  that  he  preached  regularly  in  it  to  the  natives.  It  is  otherwise 
very  interesting,  because  of  the  details  which  go  to  make  up  Eliot's  biography,  and  to  shew 
the  nature  of  his  work  among  the  Indians  and  their  feelings  with  regard  to  him.

quence  of  the  good  bishop.  It  will  not  be  unpleasant  for  Americans  to  hear  his  opinion  — 
*  My  Lords,  I  look  upon  North  America  as  the  only  great  nursery  of  freemen  now  left  upon 
the  face  of  the  earth.'  " 

1821  [SHIPLEY.]     A  Speech  never  intended  to  be  Spoken,  in   Answer 
to  a  Speech  intended  to  have  been  Spoken  on  the  Bill  for  altering  the

"The  writer  of  this  speech  declaims  with  some  spirit  and  plausibility.  He  maintains  that 
there  are  more  people  in  England  unrepresented  and  yet  taxed,  than  there  are  inhabitants  in 
British  America.  He  also  states  that  as  the  Parliament  represents  the  whole  body  and  realm 
of  England  and  dominions  of  the  same,  the  Americans  are  also  represented  therein." —  Rich.

The  authorship  of  this  work  has  been  ascribed  to  Thomas  Hutchins  who  made  the  maps, 
and  with  more  propriety  to  Bouquet  himself:  the  following  extract,  however,  from  a  letter 
from  Dr.  Smith,  to  Sir  William  Johnson,  dated  Philadelphia,  I3th  January,  1776,  now  in 
the  Library  of  Congress,  seems  to  decide  the  question.  "  I  proposed  sending  you  a  copy  of 
Boquet's  Expedition  to  Muskingam,  which  I  drew  up  from  some  papers  he  favored  me  with, 
and  which  is  reprinted  in  England,  and  has  had  a  very  favorable  reception."

before  the  whites  gained  another,  during  which  period  they  suffered  dreadful  defeats  in 
thirteen  battles  at  the  hands  of  the  Indians.  Colonel  Bouquet  by  his  judicious  arrangements

We  have  seen  all  the  known  copies  in  the  United  States,  and  invariably  found  them  on  the 
same  sized  paper,  and  with  remarkably  large  margins.

The  author,  who  was  a  zealous  loyalist,  lost  his  property  during  the  war  j  and  his  work  is 
said  to  have  been  written  to  gain  favour  with  the  Government,  by  abusing  the  Americans 
and  magnifying  his  own  losses.  He  narrowly  escaped  hanging  by  the  Whigs  on  more  than 
one  occasion,  but  lived  to  record  many  interesting  particulars  of  the  first  days  of  the  Revo 
lution,  together  with  many  scandalous  anecdotes  relating  to  the  public  men  of  the  time.

This  copy  contains  the  two  leaves,  subsequently  printed,  giving  an  account  of  the  sale  of 
the  edition  at  Auction,  at  the  upset  price  of  £9.  per  set,  "a  result  "  says  Mr.  Sotheby,  "  un 
paralleled  in  the  annals  of  literature." 

One  of  the  most  important  works  ever  produced  upon  the  history  of  early  printing,  on 
which  it  throws  great  additional  light.  It  contains  an  extended  examination  of  the  various 
editions  of  the  block  books  (or  books  printed  from  wooden  blocks),  the  earliest  productions 
of  the  art,  issued  in  Holland,  Flanders,  and  Germany,  such  as  the  Apocalypsis  S.  Johannis, 
Biblia  Pauperum,  Ars  Moriendi,  Cantica  Canticorum,  Liber  Regum,  Temptationes  Dae- 
monum,  Ars  Memorandi,  Endkrist,  Quindecim  Signa,  De  Generatione  Christi,  Miribilia 
Romae,  etc. 

It  is  not,  however,  confined  to  a  history  of  block  books,  for  it  gives  minute  ac 
counts,  accompanied  by  exact  fac-similes,  of  some  of  the  most  interesting  and  rare  works 
printed  with  movable  type  in  the  infancy  of  the  art,  such  as  the  Donatuses,  Doctrinale, 
Catonis  Disticha,  Horarium,  Facetiae  Morales,  Speculum  Humanae  Salvationis,  Bartolomaeus 
van  de  Proprietaten  der  Dinghen,  Exhortatio  contra  Turcos,  Literae  Indulgentiarum,  etc. 
An  essay  upon  early  paper  marks,  illustrated  by  numerous  cuts,  concludes  the  work,  which 
contains  upwards  of  120  plates,  many  of  them  coloured,  and  more  than  200  engravings  on 
wood.

"Soto  conquered  the  native  tribes  of  Indians  of  Florida  in  1539,  and  this  letter,  dated  July

official  account  of  the  expedition.  The  Memoir  of  Hernando  de  Escalente  Fontaneda  was 
written  in  Spain  about  the  year  1575,  and  is  endorsed  in  Spanish  :  '  Memoir  of  the  things, 
the  shore,  and  the  Indians  of  Florida,  to  describe  which  none  of  the  many  persons  who  have 
coasted  that  country  have  had  sufficient  knowledge.'  These  translations  are  followed  by 
Notes  by  Mr.  Buckingham  Smith,  who  adds  a  narrative  in  paragraphs  under  the  head  of 
*  Espiritu  Santo  Bay,'  compiled  from  both  Letter  and  Memoir,  in  a  consecutive  form ;  and

"  It  is  difficult  to  believe  that  two  individuals  were  capable  of  such  an  astonishing  amount  of 
labor,  as  is  evidenced  in  these  volumes.  The  wonderful  structures  of  the  race  of  Indians 
which  once  inhabited  the  peninsula  of  Central  America,  are  here  described  by  pen  and 
pencil,  with  great  clearness  and  minuteness.  The  temples,  structures,  idols,  utensils,  build- 
dings  and  architecture,  of  that  active,  intelligent,  and  almost  mythical  people,  are  illustrated 
by  more  than  seventy  large  engravings,  from  drawings  by  Mr.  Catherwood." — Field.

Stephenson  was  a  quaker  who  came  to  New  England  in  1659.  He,  together  with 
William  Robinson  and  Mrs.  Mary  Dyer,  were  arrested  for  preaching  in  Boston,  and 
banished  thence  under  pain  of  death.  Returning,  they  were  again  arrested  5  tried  before 
John  Endicott,  and  by  him  sentenced  to  death.  Stephenson  and  Robinson  suffered  the 
penalty ;  Mrs.  Dyer  was  reprieved  while  on  the  ladder  with  the  halter  on  her  neck.  The 
two  men  were  refused  the  rites  of  burial,  their  bodies  being  stripped  and  thrown  into  a  hole, 
even  the  privilege  of  enclosing  their  grave  being  denied  to  their  friends.  It  is  difficult  to 
rise  from  a  perusal  of  this  tract  without  a  feeling  of  intense  indignation  at  the  intolerant 
bigotry  and  cruelty  of  the  early  puritans  of  New  England.

went  to  be  a  manual  for  collectors  of  this  expensive  class  of  books.  But  it  did  not  go  very 
far,  containing  as  it  does,  not  a  selection,  but  only  such  books  as  the  author  happened  to 
possess  at  that  time.  It  was  intended  to  supply  the  deficiencies  by  additional  volumes,  but 
these  have  never  appeared,  and  probably  never  will  in  this  form." —  Author.

The  valuable  original  documents  from  which  this  history  was  compiled  have  recently  been 
destroyed  by  fire.  The  appendix  contains  a  collection  of  charters  relating  to  the  period  com 
prised  in  the  volume.  Besides  the  copious  materials  of  Stith,  the  author  derived  assistance 
from  the  manuscripts  of  his  uncle,  Sir  John  Randolph,  and  from  the  records  of  the  London 
Company,  put  into  his  hands  by  Colonel  William  Byrd,  President  of  the  Council. 

Notwithstanding  the  recent  efforts  of  American  bibliographers,  the  bibliography  of  this 
subject  remains  in  as  much  doubt  and  obscurity  as  ever.  We  briefly  remark,  that,  there 
are  two  varieties  of  the  first  edition,  one  on  coarse,  the  other  on  Jine  paper,  except  signature 
x  which  is  more  or  less  poor  in  both.  Then  we  have  another  Williamsburgh  edition  of  the 
same  date,  but  differing  in  several  particulars.  Lastly  comes  the  London  edition  of  1753, 
which  is  precisely  like  the  second  Williamsburgh  issue.  It  is  not  at  all  unlikely  that  the 
so-called  London  edition  is  the  second  Williamsburgh  one  with  an  English  title  page.

This  valuable  work,  written  and  published  in  advance  of  the  time,  met  with  no  favour, 
and  was  quickly  forgotten.  Shortly  after  its  issue  the  remainder  of  the  edition  was  purchased, 
on  a  venture,  by  the  late  W.  Gowans  and  an  associate,  at  twenty-five  cents  per  volume  in 
the  sheets,  and  an  arrangement  made  with  a  bookbinder  to  put  the  stock  into  boards,  the 
whole  of  which,  with  the  exception  of  a  copy  that  Mr.  Gowans  had  retained  for  himself, 
was  returned  cut  down  almost  to  the  head-lines  ;  an  incident  to  which  Mr.  Gowans  never 
referred  without  an  emphatic  expression  of  indignation.  This  copy  was  bound  from  the  sheets 
so  reserved,  and  which,  for  many  years  Mr.  Gowans  refused  to  exhibit,  or  to  part  with,  at 
any  price.  It  is  clean  and  fresh  as  when  published,  and  there  is  no  finer  copy  extant.

Mr.  Field  remarks  :  "  This  is  the  first  dissertation  in  English,  on  that  fertile  subject  of 
controversy  and  hypothesis,  the  origin  of  the  American  Indians.  The  Puritans  of  New 
England  awoke  to  it  with  a  zeal,  untempered  by  the  knowledge  that  keener  intellects  and 
higher  scholarship,  had  been  stimulated  by  its  attractive  mystery  a  century  before.  They 
seem  to  have  been  unaware  that  Las  Casas,  Torquemada,  Garcia,  and  Herrera,  Grotius,  Horn, 
and  De  Laet,  had  wrought  the  vein  until  all  the  metal  was  exhausted.  But  a  new  cycle  of 
disputation  now  commenced,  and  in  1652,  Thorowgood's  treatise  was  answered  by  Harmon 
L'Estrange,  in  a  tract  entitled  Americans  no  Jews.  London,  1652."  Thorowgood  made  his 
replication  in  the  following  work.

genuineness  of  the  title-page. 

"  The  first  work  of  Thorowgood  printed  in  1650,  was  sharply  answered  by  Harmon 
L'Estrange.  To  recover  the  ground  from  which  he  had  been  driven,  Thorowgood  brought 
to  his  aid  the  Indian  apostle  Eliot,  and  their  essays  are  joined  in  this  replication."  —  Field.

"  That  which  raised  him   (Tickell)   to   immediate  celebrity   was   his   admirable  political 
pamphlet,  called  Anticipation  ,•  in  which,  with  the  most  successful  humour,  he  imitated  the

publication,  at  the  bottom  of  the  back  of  each. 

"  During  the  Revolutionary  War,  Dr.  Tucker,  attracted  much  attention  by  his  pamphlets, 
in  which  he  asserted  the  policy  of  granting  independence  to  the  colonies,  rather  than  to 
attempt  to  subdue  them  by  arms  ;  and,  though  he  was  abused  by  the  friends  of  the  ministry 
his  deductions  proved  proverbially  true." —  Blake's  Biog.  Die. 

The  Tracts  are  entitled  as  follows  : 

I.  Letter   from   a  Merchant  in   London  to  his   Nephew  in  North  America,  relating  to  the 

Present  Posture  of  Affairs  in  the  Colonies.  ...  London  :  J.  Walter.   1766.

of  Great  Britain  set  forth  in  regard  to   her  Colonies  j   and  the  only  means  of  living  in  Peace 
and  Harmony  with  them."     The  third  tract  was  first  printed  in  the  year  1766. 

III.  Tract  V.  The  Respective   Pleas  and  Arguments  of  the  Mother  Country,  and  of  the 

Colonies,  distinctly  set  forth  ;  and  the  Impossibility  of  a  Compromise  of  Differ 
ences,  or  a  Mutual  Concession  of  Rights,  plainly  demonstrated.  With  a  Pre 
fatory  Epistle,  to  the  Plenipotentiaries  of  the  late  Congress  at  Philadelphia  Se 
cond  Edition.  Glocester  :  R.  Raikes.  1776. 

pp.  60. 

"  The  contents  of  this  tract  are  so  evidently  the  effusion  of  ill  temper,  that  did  they  not 
proceed  from  so  respectable  a  character  as  the  Dean  of  Glocester,  we  should  have  imagined 
them  solely  intended  as  the  vehicle  of  insinuations  against  the  colonies,  unjust  in  their  nature 
and  malevolent  in  their  design." —  M.  R. 

IV.  A  Letter  to  Edmund  Burke,  Esq.  5  Member  of  Parliament  for  the  City  of  Bristol,  and 

agent  for  the  Colony  of  New  York,  &c.     In  answer  to  his  printed  Speech,  said 
to  be  spoken  in  the  House  of  Commons  on  22d  of  March,  1775.     Second  Edi 
tion,  Corrected.  Glocester:  R.  Raikes.   1775. 
pp.  58. 

"  Dr.  Tucker  here  controverts  many  of  Mr.  Burke's  arguments,  and  almost  all  his  conclu 
sions  $  and  labours  to  support  the  expediency  of  his  favorite  plan  of  a  separation  between 
Great  Britain  and  the  colonies  in  America ;  and  the  better  to  dispose  the  public  to  it,  he 
represents  the  colonists  themselves  as  the  most  unprincipled,  worthless,  and  detestable  part 
of  mankind." —  M.  R. 

V.  An  Humble  Address  and  Earnest  Appeal  to  those  respectable  personages  in  Great-Bri 

tain  and  Ireland,  who  by  their  great  and  permanent  interest  in  Landed  Property, 
their  Liberal  Education,  Elevated  Rank,  and  Enlarged  Views,  are  the  ablest  to 
Judge,  and  the  fittest  to  Decide,  whether  a  connection  with,  or  a  separation 
from  the  Continental  Colonies  of  America,  be  most  for  the  National  Advan 
tage,  and  the  lasting  benefit  of  these  Kingdoms.  Glocester  ;  R.  Raikes.  1775. 

PP-  93- 

In  this  Tract  the  Dean  counsels  the  abandonment  of  the  Colonists  to  themselves,  they 
being  unworthy  of  the  protection  of  the  mother  country,  and  calls  the  Monthly  Reviewers 
the  agents  and  confederates  of  Dr.  Franklin. 

VI.  A  Series  of  Answers  to  certain  Popular  Objections,  against  Separating  from  the  Rebel 

lious  Colonies,  and  Discarding  them  Entirely  :  being  the  Concluding  Tract  of 
the  Dean  of  Glocester  on  the  Subject  of  American  Affairs. 

Glocester:   R.  Raikes.    1776. 
pp.  xxii.y  16-113. 

"  In  this  tract  the  Dean  endeavours,  apparently  without  effect,  to  prove  some  former  as 
persions  on  the  character  of  Dr.  Franklin." —  Rich. 

VII.  Cui  Bono?  Or  Inquiry,  what  Benefits  can  arise  either  to  the  English  or  the  Americans, 

the  French,  Spaniards,  or  Dutch,  from  the  greatest  Victories  or  Successes  in  the 
Present  War,  being  a  Series  of  Letters  addressed  to  Monsieur  Necker,  late 
Comptroller  General  of  the  Finances  of  France.  Second  Edition,  Corrected. 
With  a  Plan  for  a  General  Pacification.  Glocester:  R.  Raikes.  1782. 

pp.  139. 

"  A  most  interesting  and  curious  volume.  The  Dean  says,  that  no  sooner  shall  the 
Americans  have  established  their  independency,  than  they  will  be  enslaved  by  their  pre 
sent  rulers  —  the  members  of  Congress  —  who  will  govern  them  with  a  rod  of  iron  j  the 
moment  they  are  at  peace  with  England  they  will  quarrel  among  themselves,  and,  with 
the  fury  of  famished  wolves,  they  will  endeavor  to  tear  each  other  in  pieces."

The  first  sermon  is  "  On  the  Occasion  of  his  Majesty  King  George's  Accession  to  the 
Throne  and  Crown  of  Great  Britain."  The  second  is  entitled  "  The  Scaffold  of  Felonious 
Traitors  against  their  Lawful  Sovereign  Lord  George,  King  of  Great  Britain,  erected  and 
exposed  to  View."  The  third  "  On  the  Occasion  of  his  Excellency  William  Burnet's 
Treating  with  the  Five  Nations  of  Indians." 

Thomas,  "Hist,  of  Printing."  n.  95,  states  that  Zenger  began  to  print  as  early  as  1726  j 
this  work  may  therefore  be  assumed  to  be  one  of  the  first,  if  not  the  very  first  issued  from

"  This  was  a  case  of  very  great  importance  at  the  time  it  took  place.  The  plaintiff  bought 
meat  of  the  defendant,  a  butcher,  and  tendered  to  him  certain  paper  money  issued  by  act  of 
the  General  Assembly  of  Rhode  Island,  which  was  refused.  The  defendant  pleaded,  *  that 
it  appears  that  the  act  had  expired,  and  hath  no  force ;'  'that  the  matters  of  complaint  are 
made  triable  before  special  courts  uncontrollable  by  the  supreme  judicial  court  of  the  State,'  &c.

*  If  the  complaint  was  sustained  by  the  judgment  of  the  court,  the  creditor,  merchant, 
farmer  and  every  vendor  was  prostrated  in  utter  ruin.'  '  The  whole  community '  says  Mr. 
Updike,  '  was  stirred  to  its  very  foundation.  Upon  its  issue  was  involved  the  destiny  of 
thousands.  Public  feeling  was  intense  upon  its  result.  The  crisis  arose,  and  the  experiment 
was  on  trial,  whether  the  people  were  capable  of  self-government;  and  upon  its  issue  de 
pended  the  fate  of  the  nation.'  " —  John  Carter  Broivn^s  Cat.  iv.  267.

Everything  that  could  be  desired  by  any  one  who  wishes  to  examine  the  matter  thoroughly 
will  be  found  in  Varnhagen's  treatises,  by  which  it  appears  conclusive  that  Vespucci  saw  the

Dibdin  and  Lowndes,  together,  refer  to  but  four  perfect  copies,  one  of  which  is  in  the

Caxton,  and  recorded  by  Mr.  Blades,  all  are  imperfect,  two  copies  only  excepted. 

"  This  translation  from  Voragine  was  made  by  the  venerable  father  of  English  typography, 
"William  Caxton,  at  the  command  of  William  Earl  of  Arundel.  The  first  portion  of  the 
work,  containing  the  lives  of  the  Old  Testament  saints,  may  be  termed  an  abridged  Bible, 
and  is  extremely  curious  and  interesting,  as  it  may  be  considered  the  earliest  English  version  of 
the  Bible  allowed  to  be  printed.  The  Genevan  version,  printed  in  1560,  from  the  peculiar 
translation  of  Genesis  iii.  7,  is  commonly  called  the  *  Breeches  Bible,'  but  Caxton,  nearly  a 
century  before,  had  rendered  that  verse  thus  :  '  They  toke  figge  leves  and  sowed  them  to- 
gyder  for  to  cover  their  membres  in  maner  of  breches.'  It  may  further  be  remarked  that 
Caxton  made  considerable  alterations  in,  and  additions  to  the  work,  in  the  lives  of  the  Eng 
lish  saints,  particularly  in  the  life  of  Thomas  a  Becket  Archbishop  of  Canterbury,  &c."

Blind  Harry's  poem  was  composed  about  a  hundred  years  after  that  of  Barbour.  The  fact 
is  that  John  Blair,  who  was  a  contemporary  of  Wallace,  wrote  a  chronicle  in  Latin,  which 
Blind  Harry  is  supposed  to  have  made  use  of.

"This  is  another  of  the  gentle  Puritan  souls.  On  page  73  he  cries  out,  'Cursed  be  he 
that  maketh  not  his  sword  starke  drunk  with  Irish  blood  ...  and  let  him  be  accursed  that 
curseth  not  them  bitterly  !  '  This  is  Christian  mercy  with  a  vengeance.  Poor  Charles  I. 
is  not  spared  in  the  Rhymes  : 

<  He  cannot  rule  a  Land  as  Lands  should  ruled  been, 
That  lets  himself  be  ruled  by  a  ruling  Romish  Queen. 
No  earthly  man  can  be  true  subject  to  this  state, 
Who  makes  the  Pope  his  Christ,  an  Heretique  his  mate.'  "—Stevens.

EDITION  with  many  rough  leaves. 

In  this  edition  "Sutor  Ultra  Crepidam,"  stands  at  the  head  of  page  I,  instead  of  "The 
Simple  Cobbler  of  Aggawam  in  America,"  and  "  The  Clench"  precedes,  instead  of  following 
the  errata,  as  in  the  first  edition.  There  were  four  editions  of  this  curious  work  published 
during  the  year  1647,  each  differing  in  some  way  from  the  others,  all  of  them  are  rare;  this, 
perhaps,  the  most  so.  See  John  Ward  Dean's  Memoir  of  the  Author,  pp.  168—9,  ^or  an

"At  the  end  of  the  description  of  each  State  the  author  has  placed  a  catalogue  of  books 
and  maps  relating  to  it,  and  in  his  possession.  He  printed  in  1820  a  catalogue  of  his 
remarkable  library  and  offered  it  in  one  lot,  but  without  result ;  a  renewed  offer  was  made 
with  a  new  catalogue  in  1831,  but  also  in  vain;  a  third  catalogue,  with  the  addition  of  only 
8  books,  was  printed  in  1840.  I  have  seen  in  other  reports  that  Mr.  Warden  had  formed  3 
different  collections  of  books  and  sold  one  after  the  other,  but  this  applies  to  this  one  collec 
tion  described  in  these  3  catalogues."- — F.  Muller. 

The  above  statement  is  made  on  the  authority  of  Mr.  Ludewig  in  the  Serapeum,  1845,  pp. 
209—24.  It  is  incorrect :  there  'were  two  collections  —  described  in  three  catalogues  —  one 
sold  to  Harvard  College,  the  other  to  the  New  York  State  Library.

EXTREMELY  RARE. 

Prefixed  is  the  following  :  "  ADVERTISEMENT.  As  it  was  thought  advisable  by  his  Honour 
the  Governor  to  have  the  following  account  of  my  proceedings  to  and  from  the  French  on 
Ohio  committed  to  print,  I  think  I  can  do  no  less  than  apologize,  in  some  measure,  for  the 
numberless  imperfections  of  it.  There  intervened  but  one  day  between  my  arrival  in 
Williamsburg  and  the  time  for  the  Council's  meeting,  for  me  to  prepare  and  transcribe,  from 
the  rough  minutes  I  had  taken  in  my  travels,  this  Journal." 

"  The  original  edition  printed  at  Williamsburgh,  Va.,  in  the  same  year,  is  so  rare  that 
but  two  copies  are  known  to  exist.  This  with  the  London  imprint,  is  only  less  rare  than 
the  other ;  and  is  sufficiently  curious,  as  being  the  first  of  Washington's  official  actions  re 
corded  in  print.  It  is  principally  occupied  with  a  relation  of  his  councils  with  the  Indians,

BRIDGE  LETTERS,  twenty  in  number,  written  between  October  3Oth,  1775, 
and  April  I5th,  1776,  in  which,  by  his  own  hand,  Gen.  Washington  has 
noted  every  occurrence  of  interest  which  happened  in  his  command  during 
that  eventful  period  ;  including  an  extended  JOURNAL  OF  THE  SIEGE  OF 
BOSTON  from  the  commencement  of  the  American  works  on  Lechmere's 
Point,  until  the  evacuation  of  the  town  by  the  British. 

The  letters,  mostly  written  on  foolscap  paper,  occupy  upwards  of  two 
hundred  pages  of  an  imperial  quarto  volume,  elegantly  bound  in  green 
Levant  morocco,  gilt  edges,  by  F.  BEDFORD,  with  an  inserted  UNLETTERED 
INDIA  PROOF  IMPRESSION  of  the  full  length  portrait  of  WASHINGTON, 
painted  by  Stuart,  in  the  possession  of,  and  PRIVATELY  ENGRAVED  for  Mr. 
James  Lenox,  by  A.  H.  Ritchie.  They  are  arranged,  and  mounted  on 
guards,  in  the  best  and  most  approved  manner,  by  Mr.  Bedford,  are  in  the 
finest  possible  state  of  preservation,  and  preceded  by  a  TITLE  PAGE  and  a 
BRIEF  SYNOPTICAL  DESCRIPTION  of  the  contents  of  each  of  them  respect 
ively,  printed  by  Mr.  Munsell,  expressly  for  the  collection.  The  signatures, 
to  four  of  the  least  important  letters,  which  had  been  abstracted  while  in 
Mr.  Reed's  possession,  have  been  replaced  with  others  obtained  from  ori 
ginal  documents. 

This  invaluable  collection  remained  with  the  Reed  family  for  nearly  a 
century.     It  descended  to  the  late  Mr.  William  B.  Reed,  who,  in  conse 
quence  of  some  embarrassment  in  his  affairs  during  the  late  civil  war,  sent

it  to  New  York  to  be  sold.  An  effort  made  to  secure  it  for  a  public  insti 
tution  failed  to  succeed,  upon  which  it  passed  into  the  possession  of  its 
present  owner. 

In  his  "  Reprint  of  the  Original  Letters  of  Washington  to  Joseph 
Reed,"  Mr.  Reed  remarks  :  "  The  letters  in  question  were  part1  of  a 
private  correspondence,  the  most  friendly  and  unreserved.  Hence,  in  my 
opinion,  their  value.  Their  true  interest  depends  on  being  the  exact 
transcript  of  what  the  writers  thought  and  wrote.  It  was  the  hearty, 
familiar  letter  writing  of  two  friends,  between  whom  there  had  grown  up, 
in  the  daily  and  hourly  intercourse  of  the  same  quarters  in  the  4  Rebel ' 
Camp,  the  most  implicit,  unsuspecting  confidence.  Mr.  Reed  was  not 
exactly,  at  the  age  of  thirty-three,  of  that  class  of  thoughtless  young  men 
with  whom  it  has  been  intimated  Washington,  himself  but  little  over  forty, 
was  surrounded.2  From  June  to  October,  1775,  Washington  and  his 
c  First  Secretary  '  had  occupied  the  same  house,  lived  at  the  same  table, 
shared  the  same  dangers  and  responsibilities,  watched  and  counselled  to 
gether  as  two  men  of  affectionate  unreserve  are  apt  to  do  ;  and  when  they 
were  separated,  the  confidence  was  not  interrupted,  the  unreserve  not 
broken ;  and  Washington  writing  to  Reed  in  Philadelphia,  was  as  if 
Washington  were  talking  to  Reed,  in  the  anxious  seclusion  of  the  head 
quarters  at  Cambridge.  Such  are  these  letters  in  their  original  form." 

Referring  to  the  CAMBRIDGE  LETTERS,  it  is  observed  by  Washington 
Irving.  "  How  precious  are  these  letters,  and  how  fortunate  that  the  ab 
sence  of  Mr.  Reed  from  camp  should  have  procured  for  us  such  confi 
dential  outpourings  of  Washington's  heart  at  this  time  of  his  great  trial."  3 

Thirty-three  letters  from  this  collection,  were  wholly  or  partially  intro 
duced  by  Mr.  Sparks  into  the  "  Writings  of  Washington,"  with  such  un 
important  verbal  alterations  in  style  and  composition  as,  actuated  by  the 
best  and  purest  motives,  he  was  led  to  make  upon  them,  and  such  others, 
as  passed  through  his  hands  for  insertion  in  that  work.  Hence  arose  the 
unfounded  charge  of  Lord  Mahon  that  Mr.  Sparks  had  "  tampered  with 
the  truth  of  history,"  a  remark  which  led  to  an  extended,  animated  and 
interesting  discussion  on  the  subject,  an  event  which  would  seem  to  have 
been  in  some  degree  anticipated  by  Mr.  Sparks,  for  in  an  ORIGINAL  AUTO 
GRAPH  LETTER  written  by  him  to  Mr.  W.  B.  Reed,  and  which  will  be 
found  in  this  collection,  he  intimates  that  in  case  Mr.  Reed  should  design 
to  print  Washington's  Letters  to  his  grandfather,  "  it  would  be  desirable 
that  our  texts  should  be  alike." 

The  following  u  Brief  Synoptical  Description,"  of  these  letters  was 
principally  prepared  by  Mr.  Reed.  It  conveys  a  very  inadequate  idea  of 
their  varied  and  deeply  interesting  contents,  a  knowledge  of  which  can 
only  be  obtained  from  a  perusal  of  the  letters  themselves,  as  nearly  twenty 
of  them  are  believed  not  to  have  been  published.

WASHINGTON'S  CORRESPONDENCE.  427 

It  rarely  happens  that  an  opportunity  is  presented  to  acquire  the  possession 
of  an  autographic  collection  so  absolutely  UNIQUE  in  its  character,  so  con 
nected  and  complete  in  itself,  exclusively  treating  of  the  important  events 
attendant  upon  the  advent  of  a  nation,  written  to  one  address,  and  by  an 
individual  so  prominent  in  the  history  of  his  country  as  is  GEN.  WASHINGTON  ; 
and  it  is  questionable,  whether  any  other  series  of  his  correspondence  posses 
sing  the  same  PRE-EMINENT  HISTORICAL  INTEREST  and  VALUE  which  this 
collection  will  readily  be  acknowledged  to  possess,  exists  outside  of  the  De 
partment  of  State  at  Washington.

States,  is  such  as  they  ought  to  write  in  letters  of  gold  on  the  front  of  their  State  house,  if

"  These  are  the  seven  spurious  letters  said  to  have  been  found  in  the  portmanteau  of  Wash 
ington's  negro  man  Billy.  Two  volumes  of  Washington's  Official  Letters  had  this  year 
been  published  in  Boston.  Some  enemy  of  the  General  caused  these  to  be  reprinted  as  a

"  In  the  beginning  of  the  war  in  America,  Wesley's  character  imbibed  a  strong  tincture 
of  politics  :  and  two  sermons  he  preached  at  this  juncture,  in  the  Foundry,  and  West  Street 
Chapel,  from  the  views  they  contained  of  the  conduct  of  the  Government,  and  the  anti- 
ministerial  spirit  which  they  breathed,  were  very  remarkable.  A  gentleman  happening  to 
ask  what  he  then  thought  of  the  public  measures,  was  answered,  *  What  should  I  think  ? 
Oppression  will  make  a  wise  man  mad.'  This  is  sufficient  to  show  that  at  that  period,  he 
was  decidedly  averse  to  the  war.  Presently  after,  he  changed  his  sentiments.  His  con 
version  was  instantaneous  ;  and  what  is  most  remarkable,  in  the  history  of  this  event,  is, 
that  sudden  as  it  was,  it  was  absolute  and  complete.  Converted  himself,  his  next  care  was 
to  convert  his  brethren  j  and  in  this  office,  his  zeal  was  indefatigable.  He  not  only  carried 
his  sentiments  into  all  companies,  and  made  them  the  subject  of  almost  every  conversation, 
but  he  eagerly  displayed  them  in  public  j  and  the  pulpit  finished  what  the  table  began. 
When  Mr.  Wesley  changed  his  politics,  and  published  his  *  Calm  Address  to  the  American 
Colonies,'  many  copies  were  shipped  for  New  York  ;  a  gentleman  of  that  country,  alarmed 
for  the  safety  of  a  people  with  whom  he  was  connected,  and  trembling  for  the  probable  con 
sequences,  should  a  pamphlet  of  such  a  tendency  pass  into  general  circulation,  laid  violent 
hands  upon  it,  and  destroyed  or  returned  the  whole  impression  j  so  that  till  a  considerable 
time  after  this  transaction,  scarcely  any  one  had  heard  that  such  a  piece  had  been  published. 
This  incident  was  the  salvation  of  Methodism  in  America."  —  Hampsorfs  Life  of  Wesley,  n. 
145-148.  in.  134-140. 

"  Perhaps  no  two  pamphlets  did  more  good  to  the  American  cause  than  Dr.  Johnson's 
"  Taxation  no  Tyranny,"  and  Mr.  Wesley's  "  Calm  Address,"  both  intended  to  have  quite  a 
contrary  effect  from  that  which  was  produced  by  them."  —  Rich.

Salop.  London:  Printed  and  sold  at  the  Foundry.  [1776.] 

izmo,  pp.  70.      Gilt  top,  UNCUT. 

The  author  claims  that  the  doctrine  of  taxation  maintained  by  Mr.  Wesley  "  is  rational, 
Scriptural,  and  constitutional,"  while  that  of  Mr.  Evans  "  is  highly  unconstitutional,  and 
draws  after  it  a  long  train  of  absurd  consequences."  See  M.  Rev.  LIV.  325.

iimo,  pp.  103. 

"  Mr.  Evans  is  a  lively  and  sensible  advocate  for  the  freedom  of  the  colonies,  a  spirited 
controvertist,  and  a  zealous  asserter  of  those  liberal  and  noble  principles  to  which  we  are  in 
debted  for  the  glorious  revolution." — M.  Rev.  LIV.  326.

became  the  pet  of  the  family.  Her  biographer  states  that  in  sixteen  months  after  her  ar 
rival  at  Boston  she  had  not  only  learned  to  speak  the  English  language  but  to  read  the  most 
difficult  parts  of  the  Bible.  She  visited  London  with  her  master's  family,  where  she  received

James  Wilkinson.] 

9  vols.,  Svo.      Atlas  I  vol.   \to.      Half  purple  morocco,  gilt  top,  UNCUT. 
Together  10  volumes,  all  in  the  finest  state  and  absolutely  perfect;  a  condition  to  which 
many  copies   of  Wilkinson's  Memoirs  and  such  other   volumes  as  sometimes   accompany 
them,  cannot  lay  claim.     The  present  is  the  most  complete,  and   best  conditioned  set  that 
has  ever  come  under   our  observation,  and   would   form  an   admirable  adjunct  to  the   Burr 
Series  No.  295. 
The  Contents  of  the  Series  are  as  follows  : 

I.  Further  Information  and  Papers  laid  before  the  House  of  Representatives  of  the  United

II.  Proofs  of  the  Corruption  of  Gen.  James  Wilkinson,  and  of  his  Connexion  with  Aaron

Character  of  the  Principal  Witness  against  him.  By  Daniel  Clark,  of  the  City 
of  New  Orleans.  ...  Philadelphia;  1809.

United  States.

"  Persecuted  to  the  verge  of  destruction,  without  a  dawn  of  relief,  his  humble  fortune 
ruined  and  his  domestic  happiness  blasted,"  Wilkinson  anticipated  the  publication  of  this 
much  of  his  Memoirs  by  way  of  vindicating  his  "aspersed  honor." — See  t(  Advertisement." 

We  know  of  t?vo  other  copies  only  in  existence.  The  late  Peter  Force  was  in  the  habit  of 
showing  his  copy  of  this  volume  as  one  of  the  modern  rarities  of  his  immense  collection. 

VII.  Memoirs  of  My  Own  Times.     By  General  James  Wilkinson.      Philadelphia:   1816. 

3  vo/s.t  %vo,pp.  xv.,  855,  (44)  ;  578,  (260)5  496,  (54);  3  facsimiles,  8  folded  sheets. 
Atlas  of  20  Diagrams  and  Plans,  'with  Title  and  Explanations.  A  VERY  FINE  COPY,  quite 
free  from  the  stains  which  disfigure  most  sets  of  the  work. 

Inserted  in  this  UNIQUE  COPY  are  three  curious  and  interesting  letters  of  GENERAL  WILKIN 
SON,  one  in  the  first  volume,  dated  at  Philadelphia,  April  1 5th,  1817,  2  pages  quarto,  relating 
almost  exclusively  to  these  Memoirs.  The  following  is  an  extract.  "  The  subscription  has 
very  far  exceeded  the  impression  of  1500  copies  struck  off  ...  I  am  barely  able  to  send  a  dozen 
copies  to  Savannah  and  the  same  number  for  Charleston.  Another  edition  will  be  issued 
with  a  continuation  with  which  all  subscribers  will  be  supplied.  ...  The  copies  of  delinquent 
subscribers  have  been  sold  at  $15  and  sought  for  with  great  avidity.  ...  You  will  find  the 
book  written  with  perfect  freedom,  regardful  only  of  truth,  ...  here  it  is  approved  by  all 
parties  and  persons  except  official  sycophants.  I  have  from  General  Dearborn,  who  has  read 
it,  a  highly  approbatory  &  complimentary  letter —  he  insists  I  must  go  on  and  tell  truth  to 
our  country  of  which  they  have  been  kept  in  the  dark." 

Another,  in  the  second  volume,  dated  at  Fort  Washington,  June  24th,  1798,  4  pages 
quarto,  describes  an  interview  with  four  nations  of  Indians  headed  by  LITTLE  TURTLE. 
"  They  charged  us  with  the  murder  of  seven  of  their  people  on  grounds  too  strong  to  be  con 
troverted." 

That  in  the  third  volume  dated  at  New  Orleans  September  9th,  1812,  2  pages  quarto, 
is  addressed  to  Governor  Holmes  respecting  the  organization  of  the  militia.  "  I  find  a 
great  error  has  occurred.  Out  of  1500  stand  of  arms  reported  at  Baton  Rouge  Colonel 
Purdy  informs  me  only  176  could  be  found  fit  for  use." 

Wilkinson's  Memoirs  comprehend  many  incidents  and  anecdotes  of  the  Revolution  little 
known,  with  a  more  interesting  and  authentic  account  of  the  battle  of  Breed's  Hill,  the 
siege  of  Boston,  and  the  campaigns  of  1776-77  than  is  elsewhere  extant.

Respecting  the  difference  of  opinion,  relative  to  Witchcraft,  which  existed  between  the 
pulpit  and  the  bar  of  the  period,  the  editor  remarks,  "  Mr.  Poole  in  his  paper  on  '  Cotton 
Mather  and  Salem  Witchcraft'  [See  No.  1616  in  this  Catalogue]  has  presented  the  sub 
ject  in  a  new  light  by  furnishing  Contemporaneous  Documents  hitherto  neglected.  One  of 
them  is  a  rare  and  anonymous  Tract  written  by  Reverend  Samuel  Willard,  of  the  Old  South 
Church,  entitled  '  Some  Miscellany  Observations  &c.'  '  Its  Reproduction  '  says  Mr.  Poole 
*  would  at  this  time  throw  more  light  upon  the  Opinions  of  the  New  England  Clergy  re 
specting  Witchcraft  than  any  other  Document  that  has  not  been  republished.'  The  S  and  B 
who  carry  on  the  Dialogue  may  have  been  intended  for  Stoughton  and  Brattle,  or  Salem  and 
Boston." —  Introductory  Note.

"  The  propositions  of  the  learned  author  in  favor  of  the  existence  of  a  tribe  of  Welsh 
Indians,  are  so  well  sustained  by  veritable  evidence,  and  yet  so  positively  .known  to  be  untrue, 
that  it  makes  us  doubt  the  value  of  all  ratiocination.  He  adduces  the  positive  testimony  of 
more  than  twenty  persons  who  had  visited,  or  spoken  with  them  in  that  language.  Of  all 
the  conjectures  regarding  the  origin  of  the  Indians,  not  one  has  been  fortified  by  a  tithe  of 
the  absolute  evidence  of  respectable  authorities  and  witnesses  Mr.  Williams  obtained,  and 
yet  not  a  single  scholar  has  been  convinced.  If  such  a  cordon  of  impregnable  proofs  can  be

the  editor  (N.  Webster)  found  it  to  contain  many  curious  and  interesting  facts  relating  to

"  This  is  perhaps  the  pertest,  keenest,  wittiest,  stingingest  little  literary  production  that 
New-England  ever  produced,  and,  we  venture  further  to  say,  that  no  -American  document 
of  the  kind,  the  Declaration  of  Independence  alone  excepted,  (and  we  guess  that  Jefferson 
had  studied  Wise,)  so  completely  covers  its  field  and  engrapes  its  foe.  The  occasion  was  a 
grand  one.  Certain  New  England  Ministers,  looking  out  with  eyes  too  single  upon  their 
own  line  of  business,  met  in  Boston  as  self-elected  Delegates  in  an  Association,  on  the  5th 
of  November,  1705,  and  issued  sundry  proposals  for  amending  the  New  England  Platform, 
so  as  to  give  more  efficiency  to  the  Sacred  Order  of  Men,  as  well  as  to  improve  the  supplies 
of  loaves  and  fishes,  but  all  put  into  plausible  and  proper  ecclesiastical  phrase.  These  Pro 
posals  were  printed  and  well  circulated  throughout  the  country,  and  were  well  nigh  swallowed 
whole  by  the  hungry  Fishers-of-men.  The  poor  fish  were  not  consulted.  But  the  Wise 
old  man  of  Ipswich  kept  the  watch-tower  and  fell  not  asleep,  so  that  the  Camp  was  not 
surprised.  Taking  for  his  motto,  Titus  I.  13,  Wherefore  rebuke  them  sharply,  that  they  may 
be  sound  in  the  faith,  in  1710  he  came  out  with  the  first  edition  of  this  little  book.  ... 
The  book  is  very  little  known,  but  must  ever  stand  out  as  a  beacon  of  warning  to  aspiring 
ministers."  —  Stevens.

in  1678,  in  the   capacity  of  chaplain  to  the   garrison  at   Fort  James.     He  commences  the 
volume  with  the  following  "  address  to  the  reader  :" —  "  The  materials  of  this  Journal  have 
laid  by  me  several  years,  expecting  that  some  Landlooper  or  other  in  those  parts  would  have 
done  it  more  methodically}   but  neither  hearing  nor  reading  of  any  such  as  yet,  and  I  being 
taken  off  from  the  proper  studies  and  offices  of  my  function,  for  my  unprofitableness,  I  con 
cluded  that  when  I  could  not  do  what  I  ought,  I  ought  to  do  what  I  could,  which  I  shall

'  one  of  the  English  Preachers'  who  *  hath  spent  much  time  in  attaining  to  their  language,' 
and  for  whom  the  Indians  entertained  particular  love  and  respect.  John  Eliot  went

a  libel,  a  doctrine  since  admitted  in  American  jurisprudence.

witness  also  his  rational  and  pathetic  Address  to  Lord  Dartmouth  prefixed  to  this  Discourse." — 
Monthly  Review. 

Dr.  Zubly  was  a  delegate  from  Georgia  to  the  Constitutional  Congress  in  1775-6,  and 
notwithstanding  his  "  warmth  for  the  Congress,"  he  opposed  separation  from  England,  and 
returned  to  Savannah,  which  his  unpopularity  soon  forced  him  to  leave.
